The first definition that fits the American West is its aridity and water scarcity together with the inconsistency of water sources with the coastal areas being exempt from this water shortage. It thus follows that there is a limited supply of water against a background of growing demand from increased populations to industrial and agricultural needs creating a serious water crisis. The major sources of water in the American West are under threat due to overreliance by humans, climate change and...

Thorough revision notes for the 'Hot arid and semi-arid environments' component of CIE A2 advanced physical geography, with case study detail included at relevant points. The notes have been constructed by referencing Garrett Nagle and Paul Guinness' revision guide for the course, as well as class notes from a nationally high-ranking secondary school. Notes exclude the larger case study on sustainable management for the final part of the topic, as the example studied will vary by institution.
