Komabe, tinayesa kupatsa oimira nyumba yamalamulo am'deralo mwayi wogawana malingaliro awo pa madzi odetsedwa ku Iowa. Oimira makumi awiri mphambu awiri adabweza mafunso ofunsa mafunso osiyanasiyana.
Funso la 6 linali ndi funso lakuti, “Nanga bwanji ngati pali njira zina zomwe mungatsatire kuti muwongolere ubwino wa madzi ku Iowa? N’chifukwa chiyani mukuganiza kuti njira imeneyi ndi njira yabwino kwambiri yopitira patsogolo?”
Zosavuta, zosavuta. Ndipo monga momwe mungaganizire, zotsatira zake zinali zosakanikirana. Ngati iyi inali mayeso oyesedwa bwino, sindikanapereka As iliyonse.

Anthu ambiri ofuna ntchito adagwiritsa ntchito mawu monga zolimbikitsa, mgwirizano ndi chilimbikitso pokambirana momwe angalimbikitsire alimi ndi eni minda kuti agwiritse ntchito njira zosungira zachilengedwe,
Koma dikirani, si zokhazo.

Koma yankho lake lonse linali losangalatsa kwambiri.
"Nyumba Yamalamulo iyenera kupatsa maboma a DNR ndi Iowa mphamvu zambiri zokakamiza njira zoyendetsera ndowe komanso kukhazikitsa ma CAFO atsopano komanso okulirapo omwe akuopseza mitsinje yathu yamadzi ndi chilengedwe. Njira zatsopano ziyenera kutengedwa chifukwa aliyense ayenera kuzindikira kuti Njira Yodzichepetsera Zakudya Zopatsa Thanzi Yodzifunira siyokwanira," adatero Staed.

Mu Nyumba Yamalamulo 83. Woyimira boma Cindy Golding analemba kuti “ubwino wa madzi ndi vuto lalikulu lomwe lingafunike kutenga nawo mbali kuchokera kwa anthu ammudzi aliyense.” Iye anati gawo la ulimi lili ndi mapulogalamu, ndipo madera akumatauni akuchepetsa madzi amvula.
Ngati mwakhala mukutsatira nkhaniyi kwa nthawi yayitali, mukudziwa zomwe zikubwera.
"Ngakhale pakadali pano tikuyesa kuipitsidwa kwa nayitrogeni kuchokera ku ulimi, tifunika kufufuza magwero onse omwe amathandizira kuchepa kwa ubwino wa madzi - PFAS, mankhwala, zitsulo zolemera, ndi zina zotero. Izi zitha kuchokera ku malo otayira zinyalala, mafakitale, kutayikira kwa zomera zotayira zinyalala, ndi madzi otuluka m'madzi amvula," analemba Golding.
Eya, 90% ya nitrate m'mitsinje imachokera ku ntchito zaulimi. Tikhoza kutseka mafakitale, kukonza malo otayira zinyalala ndikusintha udzu uliwonse wokonzedwa bwino kukhala malo odyetserako ziweto, koma osachepetsa kwambiri kuchuluka kwa nitrate m'madzi athu ndikufikira ku malo obisika a Gulf Dead.
Ngati aliyense ali ndi udindo, zikutanthauza kuti palibe amene ali ndi udindo.

Kenako, panali zabwino.
"Tiyeneranso kulipira ndalama zowunikira malo kuti tipeze magwero a nitrate kuti tidziwe komwe tingagwiritsire ntchito khama lathu. Kuphatikiza apo, tiyenera kupatsa mphamvu maboma a m'maboma ndi m'mizinda kuti athe kugwiritsa ntchito njira zosungira zachilengedwe mkati mwa madera awo ndikuchitapo kanthu mkati mwa madera awo," analemba Aime Wichtendahl, wa chipani cha Democrat chomwe chikuchita nawo mu House District 80.

Kukhazikitsa malamulo ochepa omwe amakakamiza eni malo kugwiritsa ntchito njira zotsimikizika? Kodi lingaliro silikumveka bwino?
Atsogoleri athu adzathetsa vutoli. Akangodziwa vuto lake.
Tikhoza kupereka masensa a khalidwe la madzi omwe amayesa magawo osiyanasiyana omwe mungasankhe.
