The recommendation analysis should provide three specific, detailed recommendations for how to best utilize hydropower.

As part of your analysis, include the following.

• Introduction: Explain your selected hydropower and provide contextual details concerning application and reach.
• Thesis: Make an arguable claim and preview your three recommendations.
• Negative Impacts: Identify and describe the three most important current or potential problems caused by hydropower. Explain why these problems are significant, and who is most at risk of harm.
• Recommendations: Offer 3+ concrete recommendations to help solve these problems or reduce their negative impacts. Remember to consider stakeholders and resources for providing solutions.
• Conclusion: Summarize your main arguments and provide avenues for further discussion.

While your analysis and opinion are at the heart of this project, remember that this is NOT a personal opinion essay. For your project to have any real value for your readers, you must present yourself as an expert on the selected technology who has carefully researched its history, examined the current context of its use, and thoughtfully examined the positive and negative implications today and in the future.
