57%! That number is immense to hear about. The amount of neglect that is happening to our water streams without a doubt is of importance. I like the theme of the poster and thing it does well to guide the reader but at the same time poster seems very passive. It does not seem to radiate the energy that this is an important problem needs to be handled urgently.
Hello, I enjoyed reading this article. Obviously our water is crucial to us for so many reasons, but I feel that people including myself don’t realize just how much of an issue our water is and why we need to make it better but this is something this infographic does really well to explain. I liked the percentages that were used as it gives the reader a more precise understanding on the issue and makes us realize how bad it’s getting. Great layout and use of images and colors.
It was extremely interesting to learn about how much rivers in San Antonio have been deemed impaired, considering the riverwalk provides such a large source of income for the city. I believe it is so important for people to understand why the health and quality of the rivers are imperative to the ecosystem and the species that thrive off it. Including ways for the people of the community to do their part in educating themselves and others on the issue is so important and will be beneficial to the restoration and maitence of the rivers.
This infographic was very informative and interesting to read. I liked how the colors worked with the topic you are teaching us about. The percentages were very high and it shows how important this issue really is. I don’t think it is being talked about enough and the message in the infographic highlights the effects it has on animals and us. Overall, great job!
Water is essential to all life but is so mistreated by humanity. Water pollution is often overshadowed by global warming and the pollution of the sky. But it is no less critical of an issue. I would like to see more about the steps being made against water pollution. The included details about water pollution around our school brings the issue into reality. The ecosystems and wildlife near me are suffering because of pollution.
I don’t think water pollution is talked about enough especially seeing how crucial water is to our planet. The infographic was able to express how in Texas it is very difficult to get good quality water and a good percentage of our water is not reliable. But the infographic was very informative and well written.
Really informative infographic! I did not know that 57% of San Antonio’s bodies of water were considered impaired due to the bacterial growth. It is quite upsetting to see how we are the ones who are polluting our own resources. You mentioned some ways that our whole community would suffer if this does not get solved. Like you mentioned, these waters will be unsafe for fishing and swimming. If people are unaware of such then they will fish these mutated animals which can then cause some sort of disease spreading amongst one another. I see you added an organization in which we can volunteer and help our creeks and rivers. I think that was really good because this will get more people involved in saving our bodies of water.
Hello! First off, what a beautiful and extremely well tied in theme that is used throughout this infograph. I personally found it to be easy to follow along with and beautifully on theme with the topic of water. As someone who commonly travels throughout the United States, it makes me sad to be able to physically notice the difference in care between the bodies of water in San Antonio and other places. I find that there are high amounts of pollution and liter in the rivers and places such as Canyon Lake in San Antonio. I was at a national park in Washington and was SHOCKED to see people drinking straight from the river as I would never even consider this back home in San Antonio as much of the water is considered too dangerous for even animals to drink out of as was mentioned in the infograph. For the sake of our environment, I think more people need to make caring for our water a priority.
I am not from San Antonio but the lack of clean water in streams and rivers due to bacteria growth is concerning. The City of San Antonio gets its water from. They say the water does not need additional treatment even though there have been sightings of pollution in all the surrounding rivers and lakes. It makes me skeptical about how clean the water we drink is. One can only hope it’s clean and not just decent.
Very informative graphic you made great use of the percentage’s by creating bubble’s for them and nice template choice using that blue wave line. The information looks neat and organized as well as alot of information on how to help with the use of the River Authority link, the QR code and date’s for future events. I wonder what methods are employed to help bring the rivers back to normal.
