Who gets the water? – Your Town, Your Summer. Your Call. (A Simulation)
90 minutes, level C1, 16+ years
A dry summer in Riverton. Competing demands. Not enough water for everyone’s plans. Who should make the cuts—and who carries the consequences?
In this interactive simulation, students represent farmers, bottling workers, young residents and the local council. They negotiate a limited water budget, challenge misleading social-media claims and respond to an unexpected update before presenting their decision to the town.
A short source comparison introduces a real-world debate. The negotiation then uses a clearly fictional scenario with original role cards and data.

Water Changes Her Day - Water, Time and Opportunity
90 minutes, level C1, 16+ years
Two students. The same examination. Different control over their time. When does better water access become a fairer opportunity?
This resource explores the connections between water, unpaid work, gender equality and education. Students analyse an original opinion article, interpret published data and investigate the claims of a fictional water project. They examine whose voices shape decisions and develop their own reasoned response through a comment or a speech.
The material develops critical reading, rhetorical analysis, evidence-based argumentation and discussion skills and includes teacher guidance, suggested answers and assessment criteria.
