Program Outline
Students learn about the anatomy of a watershed as well as the fundamental considerations and processes for the management of a watershed. In small groups, each student embodies the role of a particular stakeholder in watershed management, and they are challenged to come to a consensus solution for a watershed management challenge. The students will then design their own watershed model on our manipulative water table and investigate different engineering systems to regulate flooding and maintain water quality.
