The correct answer is B) the damming of rivers to provide more consistent access to irrigation water.

Federal government initiatives to prevent the future development of Dust Bowl conditions included the creation of shelterbelts, soil erosion education, and the damming of rivers to provide more consistent access to irrigation water.

The Great Plains region of the United States suffered from severe drought and dust storms during the 1930s. Crops were severely affected, livestock died, and farmers had to emigrate to the west to look for better living opportunities. As part of the programs created by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the New Deal, he instituted the Prairie States Forestry Project and the Soil Erosion Service.

Why did the Jamestown colony have so little food in its early years
Yakvenalex [24]

The Jamestown colony had little food in the early years for multiple reasons:

1) Lack of knowledge regarding terrain- Considering that this was the first permanent English settlement, the colonists were unaware of the climate and the weather and how this would affect crops on a long term basis.

2) Conflicts with Native Americans- The establishment of the Jamestown colony was not well received by many Native American groups, as they viewed the English as enroaching on their territory. This limited what resources/where the colonists could travel.
