Water vs Humans Overview: we’ve focused on water hazards and resources. In particular, we’ve focused broadly on ways that we try to control water. - river flood control: levees - coastal flood control: levees, breakwater, groins, jetties, beach nourishment - water quantity control: groundwater pumps, water treatment plants, policies - water quality control: policies Write about one component of how we control water (pick something from the list above) – either an engineering control or a policy control. Logistics: Write a 2-page, double spaced, 12 pt font, short paper describing how we control water. No figures, at least 2 references (author and date cited in the text, reference list at the end. No quotes). Paper Structure: - Introduction: One paragraph describing the issue, or introducing the topic. - Why is control needed: Describe the justification for this engineering feature or policy. - Downsides of controlling water this way: What are the (un)intended consequences? Include how climate change will impact this ‘control’ method. - Conclusion: Are there suggestions for alternatives? Introduction (10) Needs control (10) Impacts of control (10) Conclusion (5) AWESOME! Clear and interesting description of the problem, which is relevant to class. Described clearly and correctly, building on content we covered in class. Thoughtful consideration of consequences, building on topics we discussed in class. Clearly summarized with interesting future directions posed. OK! Introduction provides a general, but not very specific, description of the problem. Some basic justification, but it is vague and not so relevant. Some analysis of consequences, but very basic and simplistic. Crudely summarized. MEH. Introduction provides only a brief overview of the problem Justification is inaccurate or too basic. Consequences aree not considered or is inaccurately described. Conclusion does not reflect rest of paper. Writing (10) References (5) Clearly organized in a logical manner, with minimal typos. 2 pages Appropriately cited with at least 2 references. Mostly organized and includes minimal typos. 2 pages Fails to cite references in a few places; lacks a reference. Poorly organized and riddled with typos. Over/under 2 pages. No references.
