Lesson 3
Watershed Tables
Watershed Tables
In this project you will see sources and effects of water pollution. We will simulate storm water runoff and observe and record how it carries pollutants through the watershed. You and your partners will then develop the best management practices to prevent the pollution from damaging your watershed.
Part I: Runoff Simulation
