question 1 - 1
a local water treatment plant has recently identified cholera in a towns water supply. the town is holding a community meeting in order to determine if next steps need to be taken. what scientific information could be brought to the meeting in order to better inform a community decision?

• a proposal indicating what is needed to treat the contaminated water
• a list indicating community members willing to volunteer in a water cleanup effort
• data from previous investigations linking cholera to negative long - term health effects
• one persons personal testimonial of their experience with contaminated drinking water

Explanation:

To make a scientific - informed community decision about a cholera - contaminated water supply, data on health impacts is crucial. A proposal for treatment is practical but not scientific information in the context of understanding the problem first. A list of volunteers is administrative information. A personal testimonial is anecdotal and not scientific data. Data from previous investigations linking cholera to negative long - term health effects is scientific information that can help the community understand the severity of the problem.

Answer:

data from previous investigations linking cholera to negative long term health effects
