Flood: Farming and Erosion | Grades 6-8, 9-12 Engineering & Technology Teaching and Lesson ResourcesFarmers and rivers have a close, though not always friendly, relationship with one another. Rivers can create prized farmland, but they also flood fields and the communities built alongside them. What's more, farming practices may contribute to an increase in the magnitude and intensity of river flooding. This video segment adapted from NOVA explains the flooding problem and suggests possible solutions.

Rivers | Grades 3-5 Science Teaching and Lesson ResourcesThis DragonflyTV segment demonstrates how sedimentation forms, how rivers shape the surface of the earth, how rivers are formed, and how they differ from other bodies of water.
