Get a first-hand look at what happens to water in our world with a 3-dimensional EnviroScape model watershed.  Pollution and runoff are made colorfully evident when falling rain carries mock versions of soil, chemicals, oil, and other pollutants across a topographic landscape and into a body of water.  Can you help save the model watershed community and our planet?

Programs will be announced periodically throughout each day.  FREE with general paid admission.
