From Dams to Drains: Exploring the NYC Water System

NYC H2O’s mission is to inspire and educate New Yorkers of all ages to learn about, enjoy and protect their city’s local water ecology. Through providing public and school programs at historic reservoirs, parklands, watersheds, bays, rivers, and wetlands, we encourage diverse citizens to advocate for responsible public policy. Our activities promote science-based knowledge of New York’s local ecosystems and of what is needed for urban water resilience in a time when climate change impact continues to escalate.

NYC H2O

In this workshop for teachers we will demonstrate how NYC H2O teaches about the NYC water system using the H2O Hub.

This workshop takes place via Zoom. The first portion of the program quickly reviews the city’s water supply system before discussing what happens once water goes &#x27;down the drain&#x27;. We will be using StoryMaps from our NYC H2O Hub to illustrate this massive treatment system (including how large tanker ships are part of the process).In addition, we’ll touch on one of the charismatic species that has benefited from New York City’s cleaner marine ecosystem. Following this segment, we model how our team engages students in a virtual field trip. You’ll actively participate in an exercise to design a visual map of our water system.We conclude with highlights of our in-person and virtual offerings this school year!
