It shouldn't be too difficult to imagine yourself in at least one of these situations. They've all happened, to different people, in different places, at different times. They are real.
What do these scenarios have in common?
- they are all about water contamination
- they all emphasize the importance of communication in dealing with water contamination
Scenarios like this are the basis of this work, a senior thesis in Environmental Studies at Brown University, focusing on communications in water contamination events.
As this
is a web-based thesis; all information is on the web instead of in a print
document. The links above and in the top bar will provide a starting place
to read through this thesis. As a website is supposed to be fairly non-linear
please feel free to navigate around the pages based on your interests
rather than going through every page. For those looking for a full understanding
of this work, I suggest starting with the executive
summary and going on from there.
