With the past acknowledgment of how Magnolia supported individuals before September 11th and the success it brought it was only natural to follow through with what the board members did. I think we base our decisions off of facts, recognition and references from what is brought to our attention. Being able to go off those facts will be able to make our minds up how we want our decisions to go. Mary had shown a challenged yet great organizational infrastructure when conducting this organization. The employees of Magnolia had grown in numbers which meant that their grant was going to exceed what asked for the previous years; going from six employees to thirty-four is a high increase of funds to be shelling out.

This will help us protect our nations water systems, help us achieve a total maximum daily load of waste allocations on pollution. This will help sustain the ecological processes to support vegetation, fish populations, birdlife and our wetlands.

However scientists have seen this coming since the 1990s. That is enough time to bring more awareness to it and to start funding. With money raised, we could built dams to conserve the water. Another factor that cannot be controlled is the amount of precipitation. We cannot make it rain more over the Great Lakes, but we can conserve more.
'With reference to specific key players evaluate the attempts to manage conflict within the Colorado basin.' [10 marks] A series of treaties and agreements concerning the Colorado River made between 7 states in the USA and also between the USA and Mexico since the early 1900s to the present day have shaped how the water from the river is managed and utilised. More than 10 major dams have been built, to provide hydroelectric power, irrigation and create reservoirs, which promotes industrial and economic growth, but concerns environmentalists with the damage to ecosystems. Additionally, disparity in water needs is putting strain on the Colorado, as some states are taking more than their fair share of the water available, leading to conflict. Much controversy came about due to the construction of the Glen Canyon Dam as part of the Colorado River Compact, which aimed to 'ensure through water storage the delivery of sufficient water to the lower basin during years of drought, so as to allow the upper basin to better utilize its allocation of river flow' as proposed by The USBR (United States Bureau of Reclamation).
The Cuyahoga River is pretty short only 100 miles ending dumping out into Lake Erie. As every river it is cricked, shallow in places, and narrow. It flows south then to the north. In 1769 a group of surveyors led by General Moses Cleveland traveled to Northeast Ohio towards Lake Erie and drew lines for different lots and towns. One of these towns struggled through settlements on a useless river this town is Cleveland.
Over the years, the silt has been collecting in Lake Mead, the nation’s largest reservoir, and it is predicted that over the next few hundred years this lake will fill up with silt. This could threaten the entire Colorado River reservoir system. Just in the past 10 years, Lake Mead’s water levels have dropped by more than 100 feet and the basin is only half full. Something needs to be done to stop the trends and even

The Coca-Cola Water Neutrality Initiative Ade Adesida Benedictine University Addressing the public issue in this matter is that TCCC and the bottlers were consuming 82 billion gallons of water worldwide every year and were depleting all the ground water in a specific community. The performance-expectation gap is that the community/stakeholders wanted TCCC to find a way to either conserve, reduce the amount of water been used or replenish water. The stakeholders involved are the local community/village, World Wildlife Fund, The Nature Conservancy, The Humanitarian Organization, CARE, India Government, and India Resources Center (Lawrence and Weber, 2014.) Based on the expectation of the stakeholders, they wanted TCCC to find a way to reduce, recycle, and replenish ground water, which the residents of the community will have, enough water for themselves. According to Karl Albrecht strategic radar screen, the one that best fits this particular public issue with TCCC will be Geophysical Environment because it deals with water, which is one of the natural resources found in the ground.
