OPTION 1
The local environmental problem that will be used in this portfolio is the contamination of
the Blouberg River in Limpopo, South Africa. This issue is particularly concerning due to
the implications it has for the surrounding ecosystem and community, and it is a problem
that I believe I can have a direct impact on.
The Blouberg River is an essential water source for the communities living in the Blouberg
Local Municipality. It serves as a primary source of water for domestic use, agriculture, and
livestock, making it a crucial resource for the livelihoods of the local residents. However,
the river has been subjected to severe pollution from various sources, including industrial
effluents, agricultural runoff, and domestic waste.
