This picture represents the lack of water supply that people during the Great Depression suffered from. People during this time were driven to the Midwest because of the unemployment rates, drought, and loss of farm tenancy. The depression was a difficult time for most Americans and caused most of them to go unemployed or left without a food source and sometimes even lived on streets. Many people went to the Imperial Valley which guaranteed the people a supply of water for irrigation. I chose this picture because I thought it would represent how difficult Americans had to work just for a simple water source.
