Water Presentation

My water issue topic was the environmental problems caused by recreation use at Highland Village Kids Kastle pond.  I chose this topic because it affects my community. I'm concerned with animal and child safety. There is chemical runoff from cleaning bathrooms that goes into the pond by the giant playground. Many animals live and use the pond for a source of life, and the chemicals entering the pond threaten their lives. Similarly, children are constantly playing in the contaminated water. The side effects from the chemicals can threaten the children's health. By being aware of this issue, we can help preserve the animals' habitat and ensure that the children are being protected from harmful chemicals.
