Based on the graph below, explain what would happen to the optimal level of abatement if there were a significant increase in population from the region where the nitrate contamination occurred. Assume that the population in the region drinks the nitrate-contaminated groundwater and is negatively impacted. In answering the question you will need to: • Determine which graph(s) are impacted and show the change(s) in the impacted • graph(s); Explain the direction of the change(s); and, Explain why the change in the optimal level of abatement is, in fact, optimal. Be clear as to the underlying objectives of the optimal contamination policy and make sure to explain any possible changes in the graph by using interpretations of relevant values.
