Natural resources; petroleum, mining, and forestry-What is now a growing concern is how a whole sector or entity – such as a city – affects the environment.
Topic to write about: How the three sectors under natural resources (petroleum, mining and forestry) affects the water in the environment. Critiques all three sectors or municipalities in terms of water impacts ONLY (e.g., L used, L treated, etc.)
You should evaluate the environmental impacts (water impacts only) and whether or not the sector or municiaplity is presenting a realistic and accurate portrayal.
You should focus on water impacts but do not ignore social or economic issues if they affect environmental ones.
You may need to distinguish between: 1) what the sector or municipality has actually done (e.g., measurements); and 2) the presentation (how the report is actually formatted and laid out). You may also need to provide some background or supporting information that outlines the specifics of the environmental issues facing the sector.
