reflection
According to my two readings, my idea is to creat the two faces of water resource. Obviously, the left side is negative effect. The main thing I want is to express the problems they have now. For instance, the diseases spread by aquatic birds, flooding in rain season, mammals meat and skin for trade like otter, hippopotamus, crocodiles. We can see the bacteria at the bottom from left foot to leg and otter skin bag. Here are crocodiles skin on the shoulder, fish disease on the body and trichobilharzia ( a virus diseases) on the arm which is transmitted by fish, aquatic birds.
On the right side, we can see a good future in the condition of efficient environment system. The blue and green insturcture arund the body which provide a environment for the wildlife. Besides as a source of bush meat, the aquatic wildlife also can play an important role in economics. Like bird and fish watchers, tourist for mammals such as otter, manatee and hippopotanmus, frog museum, even a contact with crocodiles underwater safely. Besides, by water recycing, reuse, reduction and develop hydroelectricity, the costs for irrigation, energy decrease and in the meantime it produces a fridendly environment for social network and also promotes business development.

  1. That otter is looking right at me. This is an fantastic glimpse into the broad research you're doing, it reads well and it makes us think. It raises a lot of questions: Is the rich duality between good and evil in water terms, measurable and manageable? Does a bad/negative aspect of water get mitigated through some good/positive means? would there then be opportunities to dovetail education into your schemes? Does a traditional or contemporary waterfront espouse a little of both?
