Designed to build a solid understanding of watersheds and nonpoint source pollution, this lesson series covers the following topics: an introduction to watersheds and water pollution, managing excess sediment, managing pathogens, and managing excess nutrients.
Groundswell partnered with WGVU and the GVSU Annis Water Resources Institute to create educational videos and lesson plans about nonpoint source pollution. This type of pollution is one of the biggest threats to healthy lakes, streams, and rivers.
