Comment on this resource
This is an interactive computer game which illustrates how human actions affect water quality within a community. Players take on the role of a city planner, and must make choices about recreational, agricultural, industrial, and residential development projects. The choices made by players will determine how much of a negative impact the project will have on the water and habitat within the community. Each dilemma challenges players to balance the needs of a growing population with the needs of the water resources available.
