help slow erosion by a simulated stream. The difference between
straight streams and curved,
meandering streams is discussed as well as how plants and rocks help
protect the banks.
Other
discussion topics:
- Spilled things get swept
into the water
- Uses for water
- Drinking
- Swimming
- Washing
- Water generated
electricity (Hydroelectricity)
- Houses near rivers and the
dangers of flooding
The Owyhee Watershed Council's
