 focused on the environmental justice issues surrounding the Flint, Michigan water crisis.  A decision to switch water sources and reallocate resources triggered a series of governance, infrastructure, and justice failures that contaminated water in Flint, Michigan leading to serious health concerns among the community residents.

Questions

1. Identify three stakeholders from the case study. Describe each stakeholder’s primary interest AND their power/interest with the Flint Water Crisis. Please download    template Actions, complete it, and submit it to this assignment.  In addition to this module’s readings, this stakeholder engagement guide Actions is a useful                resource for this assignment.
2. Draw a systems map of the Flint Water Crisis. Use the Food Systems Actions              illustration and Systems Thinking Actions toolkits as examples. The goal is to think about the historical impacts of a range of socio-economic, political, and resource choices on integrated human-environmental well being to help you understand the various stakeholder perspectives, how they influence each other, and to holistically represent the system (SLO2). Draw your systems map and submit to this assignment, on the same template provided in prompt 1.  Various methods are fine – you can draw with a pencil and take a picture, create in powerpoint, use shapes on the word document, etc.  However you decide to illustrate your systems map please embed the image/diagram within the provided template.  In other words, there should be one submission for this assignment.  Thanks!
