and most years now, long hot dry summers are leading to the destruction by fire of millions of acres of Western forests Slowly, but noticeably, the West is already returning to desert; it is a trend that seems liable to continue No one should really be very surprised about this, even without the additional problems due to global warming Back to 1878, John Wesley Powell, one of the early explorers of the deserts of the Southwest, warned of the dangers of settling the new lands to the west of the 100th meridian Powell submitted a warning to Congress to this effect ten years later, but as often happens, short-term economic interests meant that Powell's warning was not heeded In those days, the area now known as the "Great Plains" was more commonly referred to as the Great Desert From the Rio Grande to the Canadian border, large parts of this region were almost uninhabited and uninhabitable Moving sand dunes were a common feature of the landscape, particularly in years of low rainfall Yet despite the inhospitality of the terrain, from the mid nineteenth century onwards, the area was progressively colonized by settlers who made use of any water course possible, to establish farms and homesteads, using irrigation and groundwater to make up for the dryness of the land, or growing plants which did not require too much rainfall Gradually, the taming of the desert began In the twentieth century, a massive dam building programme was set in motion In many cases, the dam building was on an enormous scale: on the Columbia River alone, 55 dams were built, including the Grand Coulee dam Although a few early environmentalists pointed to the sheer folly of many of these projects, theirs were literally voices in the wilderness Many powerful businessmen and speculators, often with friends in Congress, who had much to gain from the dam projects and the generous federal subsidies that often accompanied them, made sure that opposition to their projects was stifled Thanks to the dams and the irrigation, agriculture began to flourish, and millions of settlers moved into the region, establishing towns and cities that put further pressure on the area's scarce water resources Now serious problems are occurring; the level of the region's main underground water table, the Ogallala Aquifer, is falling, and the salinity of it is increasing; tens of thousands of acres of land have already been taken out of agriculture, and the deserts are once again spreading out (Adapted from https://linguapress.com/advanced) 28 What can be the best title for the passage?
