compromised?
Are navigable waterways obstructed?
Are wild and scenic rivers distubed?
Are parks or recreation areas impacted?
Are floodplains at all changed?

Similarly, Supply of
Resources
r = resource renewal rate
T =technology rate ( as an increase
in resource supply)
S = So + r + t Pt (X) = change in
