IMPORTANT!!!

The town council votes to construct an energy plant on the bank of a large river. It uses river water in its cooling tanks and releases the wastewater back into the river. How might this activity affect the local watershed?

I. The energy plant will likely flood the area during heavy rainfall.
II. The energy plant will likely pollute the water flowing in front of it on the riverbank
III. The energy plant will stop all water flowing through the watershed.

II only
I and III
II and III
I, II, and III
