In your Advanced Higher exam, you might be asked to analyse factors or give reasons associated with content from the Higher course. One of the Global Issues that we didn’t study is River Basin Management. This is a case study based topic which looks at:
-
Physical characteristics of a river basin
-
Why there is a need for water management
-
How sites to manage that water are selected and developed (usually dammed)
-
The consequences of water control projects
Use the Higher Geography BBC Bitesize pages to learn about river basin management, taking notes under the above headings.
Geographical Study
This week we’ll look at annotated overlays and sketch maps. You can find these on the Maps & Diagrams page.

This week we will confirm your choice of sources for your issues essay. Next week you’ll begin the process of writing by working on your summary of source 1.
There is no further work to do on this if your sources are appropriate.

Your Exam will include the following sections:
-
Map Interpretation

You can be asked questions on any of the content we’ve covered so far. Using this website, your notes, the revision flashcards and past papers you will need to do some revision to prepare for what could be asked.
