Kingdom of Jerusalem - the nobility technically owned land, they preferred to live in Jerusalem or the other cities. As in Europe the nobles had vassals and were themselves vassals to the king.

Although Muslims (as well as Jews and eastern Christians) were persecuted somewhat in the cities (and were not allowed in Jerusalem at all), in rural areas they continued to live as they had before. The rais, the leader of a community, was a kind of vassal to whatever noble owned his land, but as the Crusader nobles were absentee landlords the rais and their communities had a high degree of autonomy. They grew food for the Crusaders,.

Klamath County, Oregon - the Endangered Species Act gave priority use of water to the sucker fish of the Klamath Lakes and the wild salmon of the Klamath River, and cut off water deliveries to 1,400 farmers of the Klamath Project. This resulted in numerous demonstrations and farm-related bankrupcies. In the following summer, there was once again insufficient water for both irrigation and wildlife. The Bush administration ruled that farmers would this time receive preference for water use. As a result, the temperature of the Klamath River water greatly increased, leading to the deaths of 32,000 salmon, affecting commercial and local Native American treaty fishing. Many conservation groups have criticized this decision. In June, 2003, Bureau of Reclamation officials have informed farmers in the Klamath project that they must reduce water use by 25% through.
