The 2006 United States elections were held on Tuesday, November 7, 2006 in the middle of Republican President George W. Bush's second term. All United States House of Representatives seats and one third of the United States Senate seats were contested in this election, as well as 36 state and two territorial governorships, many state legislatures, four territorial legislatures and many state and local races. The election resulted in a sweeping victory for the Democratic Party which captured control of the House of Representatives, the Senate, and won a majority of governorships and state legislatures from the Republican Party.

The victory of the Democratic Party in the 2006 Congressional elections was a major milestone for an additional reason: it saw the election of the first woman to serve as the Speaker of the House. Nancy Pelosi, the leader of the Democrats in the House of Representatives, became the highest-ranking woman in the history of the government of the United States upon her election as Speaker in January 2007. She continues to hold this distinction, as of May 2018. It was also the first election in U.S. history in which the losses for one side were so lopsided that the victorious party did not lose a single incumbent or open seat in Congress or governor's mansion.[1]

Reasons for the Democratic Party takeover include the decline of the public image of George W. Bush, the dissatisfaction of his administration's handling of both Hurricane Katrina and the War in Iraq, the beginning of the collapse of the United States housing bubble, Bush's legislative defeat regarding Social Security Privatization, and a series of scandals in 2006 involving Republican politicians

Using complete sentences, identify two ways humans in South and Southeast Asia have modified their water supply. What are the po
REY [17]

<em>Modifications in South Asia</em>, where almost 1.6 billion people live, are important measures to deal with urbanization and population growth. Research has estimated that almost 20 of 32 cities in India have water shortages on a daily basis. Residents of <em>Kathmandu </em>need to wait for hours to get water from the city. This modification helps with the control of water supply but restricts the amount of water to be used by the citizens.

Another South Asian government modification in <em>Pakistan</em>, hides vital information regarding water supply. Fort he government it is classified information, although there are treaties like the <em>Ganges Treaty</em>(1996) that supports the sharing of international information regarding hydroeletric. This is a measure that the Pakistan authorities consider critical for the control and benefit of water. But the lack of information sharing has also affected the government’s ability to deal effectively with natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, and landslides .
