- Use the information
from Chapter 14 to construct a basic diagram that shows the causes,
effects and relationships that make up the Katanga syndrome.
Include some indication of the human, economic and environmental
aspects of the issue. (You may find it easier to draw up a list
before you begin your diagram.)
Another source of information to help you with your diagram is
the World Resources Institute report ‘Mining
and Critical Ecosystems: Mapping the Risks’ by Marta
Miranda, Philip Burris, Jessie Froy Bincang, Phil Shearman, Jose
Oliver Briones, Antonio La Viña, Stephen Menard (http://materials.wri.org/pubs_content_print.cfm?ContentID=2204)
- Using Chapter 14 as
a guide, summarize the impacts of cities on the different physical
spheres covered in Physical Geography:
A Human Perspective.
Using the example of a city you know well, compare the impacts
today with those in the past (for example 50 or 100 years ago).
You can use the academic literature and websites of your national
environmental agencies as starting points.
- Find an example of
a sink syndrome for your country.
You can use the academic literature, websites of international
organisations (such as the World Resources Institute, www.wri.org)
and websites of your national environmental agencies as starting
points.
