Scholarly sources and bibliography analysis

Primary sources of information refer to physical objects that are created during the time of the study. They are taken to help the researchers have a closer perspective on a particular event. They offer firsthand information. Such sources may include diaries, manuscripts, interviews, speeches, records, music, poetry and artifacts like clothing. Secondary sources of information are these derived from the primary sources as the basis of their evidence. They are dependent on what was initially collected as firsthand information. These sources are thus drifted away from the actual event. Such sources include magazines, criticisms, commentaries, histories and textbooks.

The article describes water as an essential part of the life of human beings. it is referred to as the core component in the ecosystem. The article explains the different forms in which water exists, that is solid, gaseous and in a solid state. Water is life and the source of all major bodies of the earth; that is the oceans, lakes, clouds, lakes and vegetation. If not well managed, the effects of lack of water are felt everywhere by everyone globally. The article continues further to cite that water influences the intensity of events such as drought and floods. Its abundance on the other hand and timely delivery are very critical to the welfare of the people. The article serves as a good source of information based on the essence of water, the effects of its scarcity as well as its abundance.

This source is an example of a secondary source. The author expresses the details in his article based on other sources of information. He expresses sanctity of water and stresses the current dilemma of the supply and demand chain. He as well compares the varying water management bodies and gives an analysis of the same. The article provides valuable support to the topic of water management and sustainability.

primary sources are crucial in gathering information since they provide the basis of evidence for the information to be given in secondary sources. They are better off as compared to the secondary sources which tend to draw one away from the actual event. Primary sources will always enable the intended audience to make sound conclusions. The secondary sources are however preferable since they are a collection of various sources that has been critically analyzed. This makes them more preferable than the primary sources.

The article explains the importance of sustainable water management as a natural resource. it gives an insight on the value of water and the macroeconomics of water. the article gives the factors as the shortage of water and bad management of water as being population increase, climate change, and urbanization. The article evaluates the best methods to use to counter the effects. It gives ideological approaches and political and economic agendas, to treat water management and the macroeconomics of water pragmatically. Life on the planet depends on our success to manage our water resources in an efficient, responsible and fair manner (Juan, 2008)

The article gives an overview of the irrigation districts. the author shows how they occupy a large part of the surface water in the American west. Macroeconomic analysis of water use conditions within IDs indicates that it can be economically

optimal for IDs to engage in less replicative activities compared to private water rights holders.

Institutional insights combine to show that the political orientation of IDs favors irrigation over

irrigators in the sense that the rewards of water marketing tend to be incompletely captured (Ronald, 2007)
