\nGathering and effectively communicating scientific facts, figures, and information are key skills of environmental science graduates to participate and contribute to evidence-based innovative solutions and management of environmental issues. A good poster presentation offers an effective and interactive tool to engage and communicate with people on a particular environmental issue. Poster presentations are used increasingly during scientific conferences and public-engagement events.
\nTask: Prepare and present a Written Digital Poster (A3 size) and a Short (~ 3 minutes) Audio
\nand\/or Video of major freshwater issues in a region of your choice.
\nTips:
\n1. Describe major freshwater issues in a specific region or industry\/production system. You can
\nchoose to study a whole country or a particular locality or region within a country, and a
\nparticular industry\/production system (e.g. dairy farming, energy production, textile industry).
\nCollate and present relevant facts, figures, and information to communicate the importance and
\nextent of major freshwater issues in that region or associated with the case study
\nindustry\/production system.
\n2. Identify the relevant stakeholders and explain how they contribute to the pressures on the
\nfreshwater and\/or are impacted by the freshwater issues. Consider impacts on the freshwater
\necosystems, the economy, development, human livelihoods and health.
\n3. Describe current, proposed, or possible future actions to mitigate the impact of the freshwater
\nissues in the case study region or the industry\/production system. Consider the roles of science
\nand technology, individual responsibility and awareness, right through to government legislation.
\n4. Use a variety of information sources such as published articles, technical reports, online
\ndatabases, etc. Make good use of your lectures and readings to guide your search for relevant
\ninformation. You can include key figures, tables, and diagrams from the relevant sources. Make
\nsure that you have permission to use them (consider sources with Creative Commons Licence)
\nand their sources are properly acknowledged and referenced.
\n5. Referencing needs to be consistent, and enable the marker to easily find the cited piece again.
