EnviroScape Models

The Watershed/Nonpoint Source unit includes: Nonpoint source landscape top (topographical map) with the storm drain pipe, clear base, houses, barn, factory, drain pipe, treatment plant, trees, golf flags, cows, cars, and best management practices such as buffer strips, clay berms, manure container, soil, oils and chemicals (cocoa, drink mixes and oil mix), bridges, water catcher, rainmaker, water plug, and User’s Guide.

Stormwater pollution and runoff are visually apparent when rain falling over the landscape top carry soil (cocoa), chemicals (colored drink mixes), and oil (cocoa and water mixture) through a watershed to a body of water. Stormwater runoff and storm drain function are also addressed.

Best management practices include felt buffer strips as vegetation, clay to create berms, and other methods to show conservation and water pollution prevention measures at work. The model shows nonpoint source pollution and the steps everyone can take to help prevent environmental contamination.

EnviroScape Watershed/Nonpoint Source also teaches an overall watershed concept. Two waterways flow into a larger water body, which is representative of a lake, river, bay, or ocean. The unit comes complete with a kit containing everything you need to demonstrate the movement of water through a watershed and the pollution that runoff may cause.
