wrote about boscastle and the need for management to protect the tourist industry, how tewksbury couldn't be managed despite the need for management and about Bangladesh needing it to protect the shanty towns located off the river but cant afford it

I did the coasts one so I can't help you there! Although I think both essays could have been misinterpreted (because the coasts is effectively the same as rivers). I wasn't sure whether to use my coastal management case studies (which I did) and then with 5 mins to spare was panicking if i should have used my conflict ones?! It was about need for management?! But i thought the conflicts was the same as the coasts short 9 marker?!

Anyone do the rivers essay? If so what did you write about?

I used ganges and southern england for case studies examples. I said how location and the development of the country would effect which flood management methods would be best! What did you write about?

Grade boundaries show that last year 55/75 was a B - even if we got 0 on that essay but got full marks on everything else we have succeeded :biggrin:

I wrote about how the management of flooding varies depending on the locations economic value, importance and the amount of people exposed if flooding was to occur. If these factors were high then the need for management and flood defences would be quite high. The case studies I used were the three gorges dam and the Thames.

Not sure if I did it correctly though

I did the river essay and I wrote about Tees Basin - Yarm Flood Defense Scheme to protect the residential, Ganges basin - about embankments as they need to protect the urban area as it's expensive to pay insurance and Nile basin about the dam to control water levels so it doesn't flood does this even make sense what am saying haha?

I got mixed up between animals and plants. So instead of answering the 6 mark question on animals i talked about plants. I did the costs long question and aww it was horrible. I'm not sure if I was answering it correctly but I wrote something about how management in some locations in negative and sometimes where it was positive. I couldn't think of enough examples so my essay wasn't balanced
