The map shows watersheds with a high potential for soil, nitrogen, and pesticide runoff. If you were in charge of handling the problem of pollution from surface runoff in US watersheds, what would you need to know to help you come up with a solution? Write down at least five questions you would ask an expert to help you understand the data shown in the map and design a solution to the problem.

Answer:

Here are some possible answers:

Why are watersheds in the Midwest more prone to pollution in than other areas in the country?

What are the current flood and pollution control measures in place in high-risk regions?

What are the flaws with the systems used to control pollution in high-risk regions?

What can the officials and scientists in one region learn from those in another region?

What would the effects on residents be if we made changes to current flood and pollution control measures?

Explanation:

When manure or commercial fertilizers enter surface water, the nutrients they release stimulate microorganism growth. The growth and reproduction of microorganisms reduce the dissolved oxygen content of the water body. Without sufficient dissolved oxygen in surface water, fish and other aquatic species suffocate.
