A week ago, people in Southland found dead fish in the Wilde
River. For the next two days, so many fish died that the people
could not fish for food…

Southland’s fishing
industry.
A day later, people in northern
Eastend started having terrible
stomach cramps…
STOP!!STOP!!Draw an X
through the northern two
water collection
sites in Eastend.
The next day, people in Northland found some
dead fish near the mouth of the Wilde River. They
could have kept fishing, but they stopped just to be
safe.
STOP!!STOP!!Draw an X
through the fishing site in
Northland.
That night, the news reported that two days before the
trouble in Southland, Eastend had so many dead fish that it had to stop fishing and such
bad drinking water that it had to stop collecting out of the
river.
STOP!!STOP!!Draw an X
through all of Eastend’s
fishing and water
collection sites.
Not only that, but the E3 factory had shut down
after a visit from the Safety Department!!

• Northland wants to generate electricity. • It decides to build a dam across the river
next to Springfield. • Fish that live in the ocean need to get
back up the river to Moore Lake in order to reproduce.

• There is no way for the fish to get upstream past the dam. • Once the dam is built, the area behind it
will be flooded for miles and will become a lake half the size of Moore Lake.

1. Draw in the dam next to Springfield
2. Circle the fishing site closest to Moore Lake 3. Draw and shade in where the new lake would be
