Question

Imagine you are a congress member overseeing the environmental monitoring committee. A report came to you about the water table of the aquifer that serves your jurisdiction (the community you represent). In the report, the level of the water table has been dropping by 0.8% every 3 years for the past fifteen years. What decision will you make from this information?

Answer 1

I would prioritize implementing immediate measures to address the declining water table, including increase public awareness, water conservation initiatives, investment in water management infrastructure, enhanced monitoring and research, and collaboration with stake holders for sustainable water management

Answer 2

As a congress member overseeing the environmental monitoring committee, the dropping of the water table by 0.8% every 3 years for the past fifteen years is a cause for concern. This trend suggests that the aquifer's water supply is being depleted at an unsustainable rate, and if left unchecked, it could lead to a water crisis in the future.
