Water Quality (#104)
The water we drink, the places we swim, and the plants and animals within our environment are increasingly influenced by one thing--pollution. Agricultural runoff, water treatment processes, lawn maintenance, and other sources significantly impact our communities and the world. EXPLORE MORE investigates these critical issues related to water quality, examines the many ways water is used, and profiles the perspectives of stakeholders. After analyzing these issues, students will make decisions about how to improve the quality of water within their community.
