Using the case studies in Kriebel et al (2001) as examples, consider a situation in your
own lifeworld in which the precautionary principle has been applied and that has
affected your interaction with the environment. Write a short essay (no more than 3
pages) in which you describe the situation and then critically evaluate the effectiveness
of the policy in terms of human behaviour. Kriebel, D, Tickner, J, Epstein, P, Lemons, J,
Levins, R, Loechler, EL, Quinn, M, Rudel, R, Schettler, T & Stoto, M. 2001. The

Title: Application of the Precautionary Principle: A Personal Reflection on Water
Usage Restrictions During a Drought
Introduction
The precautionary principle is a cornerstone of environmental policy, aiming to prevent
harm to human health and the environment in situations where scientific evidence is
inconclusive. This principle is often invoked in policy-making when the stakes are high,
and the potential risks are significant. A personal experience that highlights the
application of the precautionary principle occurred during a severe drought in my
community, where water usage restrictions were implemented to conserve the
diminishing water supply. This essay describes the situation and critically evaluates the
effectiveness of these restrictions in terms of influencing human behavior.
