Through the two lessons in this unit, students are introduced to green infrastructure and low-impact development technologies. Student teams take on the role of stormwater engineers through five associated activities.

Find factsheets and other information on clean water, commercial logging, urban sprawl, wildlands, and other environmental priorities, as well as review the environmental records of politicians, get involved, and much more.

Urban settings have many wild animals and they need water just as humans do. Students will investigate the animals around them and determine where they get clean water. This is followed by a discussion of how these animals might be...

Students are introduced to innovative stormwater management strategies that are being used to restore the hydrology and water quality of urbanized areas to pre-development conditions.
