Sand Dunes in Dilkon Caused By Droughts

A Project By: J.R. ,Chad, Jalen, and Luke

Climate Change Issues• We are talking about adaption, mitigation ,and monitoring

droughts to sand dunes• How does drought cause sand dunes?• How will sand dunes effect us and our lovable community?• Can we stop dunes before they can take our homes and

roads?

Adapting to Droughts and Sand Dunes

• In the Dilkon region we can adapt to these droughts and dunes.

• We can adapt to these problems in the future but will take some time.

• We can change these problems by mud balls filled with seeds and kitty litter and use them to stop dunes for quite a long period of time.

Mitigating to Dunes• Mitigating to sand dunes we would need sand sausages and

bull dozers.• Preventing over grazing is a big issue because we need soil so

it wont become a dune.• Sand sausages will only stop it for a few years then will

decompose in the dirt• Bull dozing can help but the dune can be in its previous form

between 3-10 weeks.

Monitoring Dunes and Droughts

• Monitoring has to be observing the dune and watching out for it so the dune wont cover any roads or destroy any houses.

• Droughts are monitored by less vegetation which means less food for our livestock

Questions From the paper Part 1

• We would start by using sand sausages mud balls , and bull dozers to stop dunes for awhile so we can find answers.

• Our chapter house and community can help us get involved in organizing a program.

• The future program can set up ads, commercials, fliers ,and the voice of the Navajo nation.

Questions• Our program can be helpful to others wanting to keep there

house and not move away.• We can find answers if we work together as a community• Our answers can be found from www.Google.com• www.GoogleMaps.com• www.Bing.com
