Congratulations on your nomination. This was very informative. I like how some stats were included making it easier to see how big this problem is. Its crazy to see how much bacteria and pollution our streams have and how 42% of our rivers are impaired. The fact the animals are dying for this really shows how unhealthy this is. Overall, good job!
I thought this was a great graphic to introduce a topic that not many people are informed about it. When reading this, I was shocked to find out some of the information that was happening in my own neighborhood. That being said, I felt that this infographic was on theme, informative, and offered a simple and hassle free way to get civicly engaged, which makes this graphic perfect!
This infographic was truly great because it not only had great information but it also had a really beautiful design. What I liked the most about this infographic was that it explained the issue of impaired water sources perfectly and it also told the reader what they can do to combat this issue. This infographic is perfect for civic engagement because citizens all throughout San Antonio must work diligently to help combat the water issue.
This infographic was extremely well-made. From the color scheme and design, to the content discussed, the infographic clearly communicated the message it was attempting to display to the readers. This article was interesting to me because I did not have a lot of previous knowledge on the topic. I enjoyed the addition of the specific stats the authors use, down to the microlevel for the city of San Antonio. Instead of simply using data on the country or world scale, the information felt much closer to home. I enjoyed this aspect, as it will act to push the readers to action if they live or work in San Antonio. Lastly, I enjoyed the simple addition of the section for individuals to take action. It did not feel overwhelming or unachievable for readers to create change in their community.
Incredible, that is the only word that can describe this article. It is one of the best of its kind in it the respective section hands down. I look forward to reading more from them in the future and hope they can write about different topics that would be equally interesting. I especially liked the part where they discussed. It is incredible that the very essence of life that is water can be one of the most overlooked environmental issues, if we do not have water we cannot live and there must be more done through volunteering and supporting governmental agencies to help keep our water-ways safe and clean from these hazards.
It’s sad that 57% of San Antonio rivers are considered contaminated. In 2020 the River Authority said “ By 2020, the River Authority wants all segments of the San Antonio and Medina rivers and its main tributaries – Leon, Salado, Cibolo, and Medio creeks – to be clean enough to swim in.” I read an article that said that in 2023 the rivers had more fecal bacteria then ever before. I’m assuming that goal was never reached. Excellent job in bringing awareness to the people of San Antonio.
Thank you for the awareness, water is life to us and an essential part of our day to day needs . Citizens needs to care and must be updated and educated. Caty Presas
