1. When the first people arrived, the new town of Las Venturas benefitted from an abundant water supply thanks to regular precipitation runoff and the nearby Buenaventura river. However, 70 years later the City of Las Venturas - that now straddles the river - faces growing water stress. Describe and explain two possible causes of this change. [2 Marks]

Based on the results of the extended estimate, what are the three most effective actions that you would be willing to take to lower your personal water footprint. Which of the blue, green, and grey components of your water footprint would each of these actions most reduce? Reflect honestly on how successful you would be likely to be in making such an attempt to reduce your water use. [4 Marks]

A program of unit temperature conversion from celcius, ℃ to rankine, R is proposed. The program should allow the user to input the temperature in ℃. The user must input correct range of rankine, i.e >0 R, if it is otherwise, the code must display as ‘out spec temperature range’. Using appropriate command, request the user to reinput the correct temperature range. (a.). Create an appropriate flow diagram and pseudocode of this program. (b.) Create a program of the proposed
