Program Description

Event Details

Colorado Springs Utilities collects water from streams and reservoirs in the mountains to use as our drinking water supply. If a fire burns in the forest, does that impact our water system? In this program, students will learn about the Colorado Springs water collection system, how a fire can impact the watershed, and they will conduct an experiment to observe run-off and water quality impacts from burned and unburned areas.

For grades 2-8. Please register each child who will be attending.
