1) Research 2 articles about water quality. One needs to be based on Dharavi (Mumbai, India) and the other on Melbourne. They need to highlight key points and annotate each article.
According to ‘Under-generated cities’ the fresh water pipes in Dharavi bring in very mucky and unclean water, which therefore needs to be let go and wait for clean water or most residents of Dharavi filter the water using a fine fabric and boil for drinking purposes. Failing to boil the water that families receive in Dharavi, they are at the risk of being contaminated with 3 water borne diseases such as typhoid, diarrhoea and hepatitis.
Melbourne has some of the highest quality drinking water in the world, which is tested regularly, ensuring that it has met the strict water quality requirements. Therefore, according to ‘Melbourne Water’ the water quality in Melbourne is healthiest water on the planet because experts look at the health-related aspects of water quality as well as factors like colour, taste and smell.
2) Find the mortality and birth rates of Melbourne and Dharavi and graph the results.
Mumbai: Birth- 13.89% Mortality- 27.14%
Melbourne: Mortality- 3.9% Birth- 2.1%
