11. Your plan is to build a centre for power boats that will be allowed on the river. Your centre will only employ local people but the boats will create a lot of noise.

13. Your plan is build cheap, affordable housing for local people. However, as there is a danger of flooding, the river will need to be drained.

15. Your plan is to create a Nature Reserve as the river is the only place in the UK that a rare species of otter lives. However, it will mean that the public will not be able to visit the river.

17. Your plan is to build a hydroelectric power station. This will give free electricity to all to the local people in Notown. However, it means you will need to change the course of the river.
