Watershed/Nonpoint Source Model
The popular 3D EnviroScape® Watershed/NPS model provides a hands-on, interactive demonstration of the sources and effects of water pollution -- and allows you to demonstrate ways to prevent it. Easily demonstrate how storm water runoff carries pollutants through the watershed to a pond, lake, river, bay, or ocean – and the best management practices to prevent this type of pollution from occurring. The overall watershed/stormwater concept is effectively communicated to all ages (children to adults)!
Picture
Drinking Water & Wastewater Treatment Model
Traces the path of the water we use in our communities. Real water is drawn from the river and enters the water treatment plant processes -- clean water is delivered for residential and commercial uses -- wastewater is sent for treatment -- treated water returned to the river. Even a section on biosolids, septic tanks and storm water. You can choose to focus on one of these areas or do all three demonstrations. This teaching model communicates to all ages 

Picture
Hazardous Materials Model
The 3D EnviroScape Hazardous® model lets you explore what happens when hazardous materials and waste are improperly discharged, disposed or accidentally spilled on the land -- and ways to clean up and prevent this from happening. From underground storage tanks and illegal dumping to transportation and household/residential and commercial practices... & more!
Picture
​Wetlands Model
The 3D Interactive EnviroScape Wetlands® allows you to explore with your audience the functions and values of various wetland types. Demonstrate human activities which may negatively affect wetlands and experiment with methods that can help conserve and protect them. Specifically designed to demonstrate wetlands. For stormwater or watershed concepts, we recommend pairing this model with the EnviroScape NPS/Watershed.

EnviroScape's Riparian Kit
This kit addresses the benefits and values of riparian buffers -- areas including trees and other vegetation adjacent to the banks of streams, rivers and lakes. The kit's guide explores the positive effects of good riparian buffers as well as activities that contribute to poor riparian buffer zones.
