Grammar, Usage / I need correction of the sentences below [5]
I have my sentences made up, but I want to check if I was right. Ok, I will write them, can you please check them for me ?:

and now my sentence:

2. One factor we should consider is how important a thing good water is to public health.

3. The terrain can be seen by obtaining a topographical map of the area one intends to cover. The area to be covered having been studied, the task is now what to carry within the pack.
- A topographical map will show the terrain one intends to cover and help decide what to carry in your pack.
4. The kind of rat that is brown in colour is as supple in its ability to change its shape as a piece of rubber is.

5. A sentence ought not to have any words that are not entirely necessary, and for that matter, there should be no unnecessary sentences contained within a paragraph.
