Option 1

 * Article title
 * Newark Water Crisis


 * Article Evaluation
 * I think the article overall did an alright job of presenting the information. There were many reputable sources that backed up all of the facts in the article so that was good. The article itself was organized in a manner that was easy to follow and contained the basic information. I think there was room for improvement in adding more detail to the specifics of the timeline and the events that occurred. I also think the article should be updated with more current outcomes that have arisen.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Virtual Water


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article had good material but needs some restructuring in order to make sure important information is digestible and doesn't get confused by other information. I thought the lead section and products chart were very useful in explaining the topic. There were many reputable sources and other further reading to back up the material in the article. There was also sufficient coverage of low-income countries and those who are most drastically affected by this scenario. I think the "concept" section was too long and included too much material which made it difficult to read and understand all of the material. I also think more explanation could be added to the "limitations" and "related terms" sections. The "related term" section did a good job of laying the groundwork about the terms but did not sufficiently distinguish the difference between virtual water and water footprint.
