In 1931 the new president, Franklin Roosevelt, brought an air of confidence and optimism that quickly rallied the people to the banner of his program, known as the New Deal "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself," the president declared in his inaugural address to the nation. He was determined to make effective changes during his presidency. "Roosevelt moved swiftly to deal with the financial illness that paralyzed the nation. On his very first night in office, he directed Secretary of the Treasury William Woodin to draft an emergency banking bill, and gave hi less than five days to get it ready."2

The New Deal, in a certain sense, merely introduced types of social and economic reform familiar to many Europeans for more than a generation. Moreover, the New Deal represented the culmination of a 1ong-range trend toward abandonment of "laissez-faire" capitalism, going back to the regulation of the railroads in the 1880s, and the flood of state and national reform legislation introduced in the Progressive era of Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson.

What was truly novel about the New Deal, however, was the speed with which it accomplished what previously had taken generations. Many of the reforms were hastily drawn and weakly administered with some actually contradicting others. During the entire New Deal era, public criticism and debate were never interrupted or suspended; in fact, the New Deal brought to the individual citizen a sharp of interest in government..

When Roosevelt took the presidential oath, the banking and credit system of the nation was in a state of paralysis. With astonishing rapidity the nation's banks were first closed -- and then reopened only if they were solvent. The administration adopted a policy of moderate currency inflation to start an upward movement in commodity prices and to afford some relief to debtors. New governmental agencies brought generous credit facilities to industry and agriculture. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (EDIC) insured sayings-bank deposits up to $5,000, and severe regulations were imposed upon the sale of securities on the stock exchange.

agreeableness is a personality trait manifesting itself in individual behavioral characteristics that are perceived as kind, sympathetic, cooperative, warm, and considerate.

Answer from: Quest

development: floodplain development often directly impacts wetlands by removing vegetation (increasing bank erosion), and filling or draining wetlands for building sites. floodplain development sometimes indirectly impacts riparian wetlands through the installation of artificial stream stabilizing devices like rip-rap and bulk-heads that attempt to stop the natural meandering process which creates new wetlands and replenishes existing ones.

road building: most river valleys have roads and/or railroads. these structures squeeze rivers and streams by narrowing the floodplain. this destabilizes the river which has less room to meander and therefore has an excess of energy. the roads and railroads also affect drainage from uplands onto the floodplains, and many are built on top of areas that once were wetlands. such roads often create long, low-quality wetlands upslope of the road by interrupting surface and groundwater flows. these wetlands can attract wildlife dangerously close to roads. wetland loss caused by roads is mitigated through the restoration of other impacted wetlands although the replacement wetlands are not always of the same type and quality as those lost. see montana department of transportation's off-site wetland mitigation reserves map.

grazing: overgrazing harms wetlands through soil compaction, removal of vegetation, and stream bank destabilization. wetlands offer some of the best forage for livestock as well as a water source and cover, so livestock tends to spend a disproportionately large time in wetlands. there are many grazing strategies that discourage cattle from using wetlands. click on rwrp's web site for a discussion of these strategies.

agriculture: wetlands often have fairly flat areas of rich organic soil that is highly productive agricultural land if drained. for this reason many wetlands have been drained and converted to agricultural lands.

mining: historic mining has had a major impact on wetlands of the clark fork basin, particularly along the upper river where mine wastes have been deposited in the floodplain, creating the country’s largest superfund site. view the superfund site.

the epa also list the following as major human causes of wetland loss: logging, runoff, air and water pollution, introducing nonnative species. see examples of nonnative species here.

the following lists specific damaging actions commonly taken in wetlands.

dumping: dumping fill material buries hydric soils and effectively lowers the water table so hydrophytic (water loving) plants cannot compete with upland plants.

dredging: the removal of material from a wetland or river bed. dredging of streams lowers the surrounding water table and dries up adjacent wetlands.

draining: water is drained from wetlands by cutting ditches into the ground which collect and transport water out of the wetland. this lowers the water table and dries out the wetland.

diverting flow: water is diverted around wetlands, lowering the water table.

devegetation: vegetation plays an important role in wetland ecology by removing water through evapotranspiration, altering water and soil chemistry, providing habitat for wildlife, and reducing erosion. removal of vegetation can drastically and sometimes irreversibly alter wetland function.

damming flow: many ponds and reservoirs are constructed on wetlands. a flooded wetland cannot provide the same habitats and functions.

development of springs: pumping large quantities of water from springs lowers nearby groundwater and can result in the loss of wetland vegetation. compaction of springs by cattle can cause springs to cease to flow.
