Living With Our Waterways

Education Level: Year 7 and 8

This resource kit has been prepared to highlight our waterways and to increase awareness about the impacts that humans have on aquatic systems. The difference between the storm water and sewerage systems is stressed in the terms of local waterway pollution. This resource contains three modules and a Cultural Aspects Activity:

• Water - Where is it coming from and where is it going?
• Water - What’s at the end of the storm water drain? Ecological Interactions
• Water - Pollution and Solutions
• Multi Cultural Aspects Research Project

All Christchurch Primary School Libraries should hold a copy of this resource. For additional copies contact your local Library.
