Explain two reasons to them why this is not a good idea and suggest an alternative that will control the mosquito population with minimal effect on the local ecology.

Answer 1

1. Draining the swamp will disturb the natural ecosystem and could harm the local wildlife.
2. Draining the swamp may not eliminate all mosquito breeding grounds, as they can also breed in standing water such as puddles and flower pots.

Instead of draining the swamp, the neighborhood group could consider introducing mosquito-eating fish like Gambusia or installing mosquito traps to control the population without harming the local ecology.
