2. No, the focus must develop a provable thesis that connects a U.S. natural disaster with specific water conservation measures. Remember, this is a call to action document, so an argumentative paper MUST include persuasive strategies (ethos, pathos, logos) that both propose a solution(s) and issue a call for action on the part of the public (handout to be distributed)
