Question

Which is a possible side effect that polluted watersheds could have on Virginia's economy? Virginia's fishing docks would likely need to be expanded. Virginia's wildlife would likely need to find new habitats. Virginia's inhabitants would likely need increased health care. Virginia's farmers would likely increase their crop production.

Answer 1

Answer: Virginia's inhabitants would likely need increased health care

Explanation:

The people of Virginia are able to access water due to the large number of watersheds that they have. These watersheds supply them with water for their daily needs and so they are quite reliant on them.

If those water sheds are polluted, the people using it, the Virginians, would therefore be affected by it because their health would suffer. This would lead to them having to incur more health costs in order to stay healthy.
