Miami Florida is considered ground zero for climate change (link), in particular rising

seas will not only drown coastal sections of the city but will disrupt our local supply

of drinking water.

Based on what you have learned so far from this class, discuss the following:

• Explain where the drinking water from South Florida primarily comes from and

why would rising sea levels disrupt this supply?

• What efforts can be made and are being made to mitigate the effects of rising

seas on our drinking water?

• If you were a local politician, what advice would you give to state and federal

officials on the best way to ensure residents in South Florida had a steady

supply of drinking water for many years to come?

• Include at least 2 references in your discussion and cite your sources.

• Write a short essay or paragraph of at least 300 words.

• Use concrete examples/details and avoid generalities.

• Address all questions.

• Use proper grammar and punctuation.

• If you researched your topic and are using information from what you learned, remember to

cite your sources.
