Question

Watch this video about a river that China is building. Explain how the river will help prevent the negative effects of drought. In your answer, explain any negative effects that you foresee this new river will have on the people or on natural habitats.

Answer 1

Answer:

The river will increase Beijing’s water supply, which is currently at risk of not meeting the city’s needs. This increase will help to soften the effect of droughts.

The downside of the new river is that it may disrupt natural areas, including habitats for plants and animals. The project will also be expensive and may take up space that could be used for homes, businesses, or agriculture.
