Urban Watershed Curriculum

As our children become adults, it will become their responsibility to preserve the water resources that supports life in our city. It is important that they understand where their water comes from and the technologies that allow us to use the water then return it to the river so we can use it again. The urban curriculum and educational tools were developed to help teachers create an environment where these important lessons can be taught in an exciting and fun way.

This curriculum was created in partnership with Georgia Project WET (Water Education for Teachers) specifically for Atlanta educators with Atlanta specific water resource lessons for all disciplines. Students can enact the history in a play about Atlanta’s wastewater system, build a delivery system model that supplies drinking water and collects wastewater from a community, or become “water” in a treatment plant and simulate the process as they move through a field of activities.
