Class discussion / dilemma / debate: Water Shortage. Site includes pros and cons of major arguments for facilitating discussion.
You've got a water crisis in your city, Mayor (fill in your name here). You're running out of water! Your growing population and new industries demand more water, which you don't happen to have. You're the mayor -- you're in charge. How will you solve the problem, since you want to do what's best for your community (and get re-elected)?
There are only two things you can do, increase the supply of water and/or decrease the demand for water. By using the form below, give us your opinions on what measures you'd use to tackle the problem (which is a real situation happening in many places all over the world every day). Start a class discussion about why you think some measures would work and some wouldn't. The discussion will get more complicated than you think!
