Water and Land Impact

The next assignment is about water, floods and droughts. There is a local component (the Bronx and Yonkers), a national US component, which includes Texas and the northwest of the US as well as the northwest of Canada, and a global component, southwest Asia (Syria) and South Asia (India and Bangladesh). Let's look at the impact of water on the people who live where water is present in marked abundance (floods) and in its marked absence (droughts). Let's look at the dangers to people from the presence and absence of water because of climate change and how these situations have affected these communities. The assignment includes your reflections on parts of a video and articles, but not only them. Build on that and integrate what you learned previously by writing in sentences and paragraphs about the impact that floods and droughts have on people in all sorts of ways. With these resources, you should be able to answer these questions in an essay in 3 pages. However, do not number the questions and just answer them. That's not college work. —What is a flood?
