Rivers and Us

Rivers and Us
Science Learning Hub - exploring contexts for learning

Rivers and Us is a Waikato Regional Council initiative to help teachers, students and communities investigate the water in their local area. It explores how people use water and the effects of these uses on water quality, and includes an emphasis on freshwater monitoring and taking action to protect/enhance water quality in your local area.

Although this project is based in the Waikato, there are many resources that can be adapted to other parts of the country, and you can find local support for freshwater monitoring by searching by Region in our Providers catalogue.
