Negative- Destruction of ecosystems. Positive - freshwater on demand

2024-03-14 18:22:33 UTC

Power and movement of water. 167 miles away.

2024-03-14 18:23:32 UTC

People in rural areas not hooked up the Hetch Hechty water system do not benefit

Loss of salmon habitat in upper watersheds deprives forest ecosystems of critical nutrients.

2024-03-14 18:25:10 UTC

Local and native people don't benefit from the economic value of the water and power delivered to SF/Bay Area

2024-03-14 18:28:34 UTC

2024-03-14 18:31:17 UTC

Loss of knowledge about appropriate management of the landscape.

Trauma

2024-03-14 18:31:30 UTC

Ecosystem imbalance and vulnerability as a result of loss of stewardship

2024-03-14 18:31:54 UTC

2024-03-14 18:32:48 UTC

There is now overgrown vegetation that was originally kept in balance by Native people. inbalance in general in the current status quo

out of balance

2024-03-14 18:33:00 UTC

Lack of biodiversity and impact on the insects and animals given the unhealthy forest and flooded valley.

2024-03-14 18:35:27 UTC

2024-03-14 18:35:32 UTC

Disconnection between consumers of Hetch Hetchy resources and the people who lived their since time immemorial.

2024-03-14 18:37:04 UTC

Externalization of costs of resource extraction.

It's dehumanized.

Cultural Shift

2024-03-14 18:39:13 UTC

It seems like it could force a relationship of dependency for indigenous groups to engage with colonial structures, thereby compromising their world views in order to exist/thrive. In other words, can it taint the relationship indigenous groups have with the natural world/ecosystems?

A community level distrust of colonizers from broken treaties and imparted generational trauma for the survivors of that massacre and forced starvation.

2024-03-14 18:40:01 UTC

2024-03-14 18:42:40 UTC

sadly, distant. though I know the relationship is direct

2024-03-14 18:42:43 UTC

Largely non-existent if I'm being honest.

2024-03-14 18:43:00 UTC

Disconnected, no current context

There are no relationships - most folks don't even think of the water coming from native people

2024-03-14 18:43:00 UTC

Severed

2024-03-14 18:43:06 UTC

I was ignorant of the native people and the price they paid so we can have water

2024-03-14 18:43:30 UTC

We don't connect the Measure F to the fight that the peoples are going through.

2024-03-14 18:43:44 UTC

The stories of the native peoples in the region are lost in the telling of the history and significance of the infrastructure and resources of the place.

2024-03-14 18:44:23 UTC

naomi_torres1 — 2024-03-14 18:44:24 UTC

Disconnected. Unaware.

Choosing locations and people that have the water needed to thrive at the cost of others.

2024-03-14 18:44:24 UTC

Fracturing of the relationship between people and land and natural systems

2024-03-14 18:44:42 UTC

Less protection and stewardship of ecosystems

2024-03-14 18:44:58 UTC

Reinforces the ideology that nature is a resource and not an integral part of the balance of our coexistence with ecosystems.

Less connection and "value" placed on local watersheds outside of Hetch Hetchy. In San Francisco, pollution of groundwater in city, creeks now underground, all impacting local ecosystems.

2024-03-14 18:46:02 UTC

Negligent on my side. I have a huge gap of knowledge around how Native peoples' in my area lived with and had/have a relationship with the water systems in my area.

Continues marginalization of people from resources and land, while primarily serving affluent communities.

2024-03-14 18:46:11 UTC

I don't have a relationship
