Week Three Discussion Topic

 

For this week's discussion respond to either A. OR B.

A. What is your [hometown or current] watershed? If you are living in Madison, do you know your sub-watershed? What are the threats to this watershed (think about both surface- and groundwater threats) and how are they being managed? For example, do any of the aquatic invasive species you are learning about this week play a role in your watershed? 

B. From a conservation standpoint, think about how you use or interact with your watershed - where does your shower water end up? Who in your community makes decisions about water use and regulation? How would your life change without running water? If you had to guess, how many of your friends and family members know where their running water is coming from? How important is water conservation to you, in relation to other ecological issues we’ve learned about so far? You don’t have to answer all of these questions; pick a couple to expound.

*Remember you are required to make a minimum of three posts, one post to the blog responding to the topic and at least two posts responding to another student's post or comment.
