Water Resource Challenges
Review Ch. 10 and 11 of your text, then complete the following:
Provide at least three freshwater and three ocean water resource challenges by filling in the following table. Then, respond to the question that follows:
Freshwater Resource Challenge
Description
Ocean Water Resource Challenge
Description
In 200 to 300 words, respond to the following: Choose one fresh or ocean water resource challenge and describe in detail why the issue has become a problem and how human activities have contributed to the problem.
How would you like us to help you with this assignment?
To complete this task, you'll need to review Chapters 10 and 11 of your text for information on freshwater and ocean water resource challenges. As you read, identify at least three challenges for both freshwater and ocean water resources. You can then fill in the provided table with a description of each challenge.
For the freshwater resource challenges, think about issues such as water scarcity, pollution, and overconsumption. Consider how human activities have contributed to these challenges. For example, pollution can occur due to industrial waste or improper disposal of chemicals, while overconsumption could result from excessive irrigation or the use of water-intensive practices in agriculture.
When it comes to ocean water resource challenges, think about issues such as overfishing, marine pollution, and coral reef degradation. Again, consider how human activities have contributed to these challenges. For instance, overfishing can be a result of unsustainable fishing practices and lack of proper regulation, while marine pollution can stem from industrial waste, oil spills, or improper disposal of plastics.
After completing the table with the three freshwater and three ocean water resource challenges, you'll need to answer the following question in 200 to 300 words: Choose one fresh or ocean water resource challenge and describe in detail why the issue has become a problem and how human activities have contributed to the problem.
To answer this question, select one challenge from either the freshwater or ocean water resource section of your table and provide a detailed description of why it has become a problem. Explain how human activities, such as pollution or overconsumption, have contributed to this issue. Use information from the textbook chapters and any additional research you may have conducted to support your response.
Once you have completed your response, you can post it as an attachment in your Individual Forum for submission.
