Background This week we are returning to local issues – the provision of sufficient, clean drinking water. Most drinking water comes from freshwater that is in limited supply. This limitation is most acute for areas relying on groundwater sources. Guelph, Ontario, relies on groundwater to supply drinking water for the population of nearly 132,000 people. The city is located about 100 km west of downtown Toronto. Its population has increased by 8.3% between 2011 and 2016. Guelph is located in the “Guelph Drumlin Field” formed during glaciation (a land form similar to that of the Oak Ridges Moraine). The drumlins are well drained areas of sandy silt till and the esker is comprised of welldrained sand and gravel. Both allow for shallow groundwater recharge and pumping for drinking water. Groundwater for drinking water is also pumped from underlying bedrock of the Guelph-Amabel formation. To supplement these naturally occurring groundwater sources, Guelph has developed an engineered system in which the city artificially recharges the shallow Arkell Spring Grounds using water from the nearby Eramosa River. The city then draws shallow groundwater from the Arkell Spring Grounds. Several debates and concerns have been raised about the sufficiency of the future drinking water supply coming from groundwater, to meet the needs of the population of Guelph. These concerns include future land development that could impeded groundwater recharge and water-taking for the purpose of producing bottled water. Goal What considerations need to guide the provision of sufficient, clean drinking water for Guelph into the future? Your task is to develop components of a groundwater management plan. Your Assignment 1. How and where does Guelph obtain its drinking water? Use three sentences to describe the source(s) of Guelph’s drinking water supply. You need to cite at least one reference in your explanation. 2. Identify two major competing uses for groundwater water originating from the aquifers now supplying the Guelph population. Cite at least one reference to substantiate the information you obtained for each competing use. 3. Identify two solutions intended to maintain a continued supply of sufficient, clean drinking water for the Guelph area for now and into the future (say 2050, which is within you lifetime!). You could identify one supply-side solution and one demand-side solution. Your solutions need to be realistic and feasible. They can originate from other locations that obtain groundwater or that experience water scarcity. Summarize each solution in three sentences that include one reference each. Citations: You need to substantiate each statement of information with a citation. You need to cite the source within the sentence that makes use of that information. Please give the full details of the citation at the end of your answers under the heading: “References Cited”. Please use the APA style for citations. Example: Freshwater supplies ...

Provide a 150 word response to the below discussion question answer in apa format with in-text citations and references: Answer: Listening and empathy are the most important principles of servant leadership in promoting respect for diversity and multiculturalism (Greenleaf, Senge, Covey, & Spears, 2002; Rentfrow, 2007; Root, n.d.). Diverse groups of people may have differing frames of reference based on their individual cultures, race, religion, sex, education, and socio economic backgrounds. By listening and showing an earnest attempt to understand the frame of reference followers base interactions on, servant leaders provide support, and facilitate building trust (Greenleaf et al., 2002; Rentfrow, 2007; Root, n.d.). Through empathy, or acceptance of individual difference, servant leaders place value on the person. Followers are not just numbers; they are valued as individuals, which encourages new ideas, and greater commitment and engagement (Greenleaf et al., 2002; Rentfrow, 2007; Root, n.d.). I had the opportunity to partake in a leadership course focused on diversity and inclusion. We were a group of twenty business and government leaders from the Charlotte area comprised of diverse backgrounds. The most difficult concept for the group to grasp was acceptance of other group member’s frame of reference. This extended within stereotypical cultural divisions. African American member differed on self-identification as “Black” or “African American”. The Latin American members differed on “Latino” or “Hispanic”. Individual frames of reference based on age, and socio economic backgrounds shaped self-identification. I identify as American Indian. Younger members of my tribe call themselves “natives”. This was very difficult for some members of the group to accept and understand. There is a desire to place people in categories, and expect their behavior to be reflective of the label. I see it daily at work, and in the community. All people from Central and South American are labeled as Mexican. In our group, we had Latinos from Mexico, Columbia, Venezuela, and Ecuador. They all had differing experiences and views on what it meant to live and work in the United States. Once the group learned to listen and accept each other as individuals, we accomplish great things through our commitment to each other and the group. Original Question: Think about Greenleaf's principles of servant leadership and what you have learned about the biblical foundation of servant leadership. Identify specific principles of servant leadership that, when employed effectively, can proliferate respect for multiculturalism and diversity within the organizations and communities they serve? Provide specific examples to illustrate your ideas. .
