What are two sides of the debate about water management and what is the impact of one side
Water should be used for Irrigation
- Decreased water in the Murray River leading to an unhealthy river for biodiversity.
More water is needed in the MR to improve environmental flows (Murray Darling Basin Plan)

Identify the Perceptions, Interactions and Impacts of Recreation.
Perception → Environment as a Playground, gymnasium or Object that provides Thrills and risk.
Interactions --> Bushwalking, Surfing, Rock climbing, Skiing and snowboarding, Canoeing, Mountain bike riding
Impacts → Negative - Venues altered, Constant use -Construction of paths (clearing of the land), Rubbish and other harmful substances left behind
Positive - Bond created with specific environment → Sustain interactions to enable future use.
Perceptions, Interactions and Impacts of Technology
Perception: Activities/ enviro's are safer, easier access to activities/ enviros, Alienation from environments.
Interactions: Increased participation in activities in outdoor environments, decreased participation.
Impacts: Overuse, habitat loss ect
Perceptions, Interactions and Impacts of Commercialisation
Perceptions: Environment as a resource used to make money
Interaction: Large numbers, increase participation, use same locations, no minimal impact strategies
Impacts: Loss of Vegetation, Soil Erosion, Rubbish ect
In regards to the renewable energy debate is someone is against the implementation of RE what is their Perception, Interactions and impacts
Perceptions: Environment as a resource
Interactions: Continue to burn FF for energy production and unsustainable practices.
Impacts: Alteration of habitats due to mining, increased global warming and climate change impacts.
Identify the renewable energy targets for two political parties

Identify the Perceptions, Interactions and Impacts of Primary Industries
Perceptions →we are superior to the enviro.
Our needs are more important than the ecological balance
Economic importance that is valued the most.
Interactions --> Mining, Harvesting, grazing and Agriculture, Fish Harvesting, Energy production
Impacts:
Alteration of landscapes
Removal of habitats
Modification of Habitat And reduced biodiversity
Pressure on species
Pollution of Atmosphere
Perceptions, Interactions and Impacts of Depictions in Music if the environment is depicted as threatened.
Perceptions: The environment needs protecting and isnt a limitless resource
Interactions: Conservation activities, Environmental Considerations
Impacts: Minimal Impact Strategies, sustainabe practices.
Perceptions, interactions and impacts of Social Responses to Risk Taking if infrastructure is implemented to increase safety.
Perception: false sense of security or decrease wilderness feeling.
Interactions: Encourage or discourage participation
Impacts: Visual impacts or reduced impacts as less participation.
In regards to the climate debate if someone thinks Climate change is naturally occurring what is their Perception, Interactions and impacts
Perceptions: Enviro as resource - Human activities are not responsible and CO2 and temp changes are natural.
Interactions: No alteration of current activities, FF's continue to be used.
Impacts: Biodiversity Loss, increased sea levels, decreased snow cover.
