Education

The Education Department of the Stroud Water Research Center interprets the research of our scientists. Our programs are multidisciplinary and oriented to a wide audience. We hope that through exposure to our programs and information, people will be motivated to become responsible stewards of freshwater resources.

A WATERSHED APPROACH TO EDUCATION

Watersheds are portions of the landscape that interact with and direct streams, rain water, and snow melt to larger bodies of water such as rivers, lakes, or estuaries. Everybody lives in a watershed. Watersheds can be small, encompassing neighborhoods or large, extending over many states or countries. Because they have natural boundaries and are universal in nature, watersheds are ideal models or themes around which science, education, conservation, and public policy can be discussed.
