Your city is experiencing water interruption from time to time, and to ease this crisis, the
government plans to enter into a contract with a foreign company for the construction of
Php 18.7-billion project called New Hope Dam. This dam will be located in one of the
ancestral domain of Dumagats near your city, also, that land has rich biodiversity and
because of this project, much of the ecosystem will potentially end up being endangered.
What will be your stand about this ecological crisis? Will you pursue the construction of
the dam to ease the water shortage in your city or will you respect the rights of the
indigenous people over their ancestral land and consider the ecosystem that will be
endangered? How will you reconcile development and taking care of the environment and
people living in it?

The position paper in the given format is written below.
Explanation:
The New Hope dam.
In the outskirts of the forest lies my city, but there is a lack of water accumulation so we experience water cries quite a lot. So many years after running behind the government following various marches and strikes, we have successfully laid the plan of building the dam, known as the New Hope dam.
The government has given this project to the foreign company for 18.7 billion INR. This dam is located in Dumagats, the land rich in biodiversity which will help to collect more water. The Dam will store sufficient water to supply the city. Also, the people living in this area are going to get houses in the city. To conserve diversity, the total number of trees cut in this area will be planted in areas close to the city.
As a citizen of the city and also the minister, I accept the project. This will pay no harm to the environment and stop the water crises in the city.
