1. Discuss pros and cons of irrigation and suggest future approaches and strategies to manage this sector of water use. 2. Discuss how “megacities” manage their water

resources. 3.Learn how to calculate and control your water footprint. Please answer the following three questions: 1*. Irrigation is on an ecologist’s hit list. Why?

Discuss pros and cons for irrigation of an agricultural land . In your opinion what can be done in the future in this sector of water resources management (give at

www.waterfootprintkemira.com and start the calculator. Calculate your personal water footprint and answer the following questions:
2
a) For each question /statement (1-17) write the quantity of water added (+) L/day or reduced (-) L/day. What are your highest and lowest values for water use in the

bathroom, kitchen and at the table. How would you reduce (increase?) your water footprint?. Suggest several the most effective examples. (3 marks) b) What is your

total, embedded and direct water footprint; briefly discuss these values and compare the total value with Canada’s average value. (2 marks) * Maximum 1 page for

question 1, half of page for question 2 and one page for question 3 (including 1- 17 statements, calculations can be handwritten). Your answers can be double-spaced

(or have 1.5 spacing is absolutely required), but NOT single-spaced. Minimum of 2 scientific references are expected for question 1 (i.e. scientific books or peer-
