Arizona Project Wet
Delivering Water-Related Community Education
The mission of Arizona Project Wet (APW) is to help people develop knowledge and skills that equip them to act for water stewardship. By doing so, they strive to set the standard for water-related education programming and resources that builds a knowledgeable population empowered to act for water sustainability that supports Arizona’s diverse communities and ecosystems.
Although described as Water Education for Teachers and Students by providing professional development, easy access curriculum and student-centered learning, the program also provides easy public access to these same tools in easy-to-understand formats.
One major tool of their arsenal is the Arizona Groundwater Video Series. In this approximately thirty-minute thought-provoking video, they unearth the secrets of how and where groundwater accumulates and the processes for bringing it to the surface. It then continues to the who, what, when, where and how’s of water management and conservation.
Delivered in nine three-minute segments, the series explains in simple terms the following information:
- Ground Water Basics: How it is used and extracted.
- Inside Look at Groundwater Systems.
- How Ground Water Moves.
- Interconnected Water Sources.
- History of Groundwater Use and Management.
- Water Challenges.
- Balancing Our Ground Water System.
- What Can We Do–Working Together.
This series is a wonderful way to learn about our groundwater resources. And, because of the easy-to-understand language and illustrations, it provides a way for all family members, young and old, to learn together about this critical natural resource.
