Water Management Plan for Arzaville
Imagine that you are a resident of Arzaville, a community whose characteristics are described below.
You have come together with your neighbors for a special meeting to devise a plan for managing its water
resources more sustainably by 2050. Water resource issues the community faces include insuring a safe and
sustainable drinking water supply for all, handling its wastewater in a manner that has minimal environmental
impact, and managing its stormwater runoff in a way that minimizes the risks of erosion and flooding.
Fortunately, you have all attended the meeting with the knowledge. Your ideas should each consist of one of
the following elements, depending upon what you think is Arzaville’s area of greatest need:
Sustainable drinking water access measures (e.g., developing a program for rural residents to begin collecting
and treating their rainwater for drinking use).
Sustainable wastewater management measures (e.g., collecting greywater from area residences for use
irrigating a local golf course).
Storm water management measures (e.g., requiring that permeable pavement be used for all future
development projects in the community).
Post your ideas for plan components and also share pros and cons of different proposals..
Finally, you will be able to vote on the three components that you think the plan should include.
Post at least two (2) separate and entirely original ideas.
