Guidelines for finding your 10 peer-reviewed research articles • Use Google Scholar • Use Web of Knowledge • Research publications may also be available on ResearchGate. • Utilize a network on campus or if off campus login through UK proxy server • Download and save your ten pdf articles – you have to submit them.
Guidelines for presentation • Five minute duration • Provide basic information about relevant environmental health hazard, including its location, health outcomes, modes of exposure, vulnerable populations, where regulatory authority for it resides, potential for racial/social injustice, control strategies, and ramifications of these control strategies for different parties. A case study is a useful way to communicate this information, much better than just listing this info. • Integrate content from five of your ten articles into this presentation. • Integrate images and screenshots. No more than one minute of video. Link rather than embed all videos

Schematic for the systems integration of water use and management in Maputo, Mozambique
The ways in which water and public health are integrated into the urban systems of four major cities are examined in this article. Each differs in their infrastructure, ranging from cities in the developing world (India, Mozambique) with large informal economic sectors and little central planning to a city with intensive centrally-planned water management (Austria). These cities also differ in their kinds of public health water issues often related to their particular histories and cultural norms. Food stalls are an avenue for water-borne disease in Kolkata, India, while the lack of adequate sewage infrastructure was the major concern in Surat, India. Making water scarcity and the need for safe reuse of water is a major challenge in Maputo, Mozambique. In Vienna, Austria disease is less of a health threat as is the physical hazards imposed by river flooding.
