In this lesson students explore the impacts of concentrated development and sprawl on water quality and land use. The concept of a watershed is introduced, along with information on basins and tributaries and the impacts of growth and nitrogen loading. The students are able to develop a plan to reduce nitrogen runoff to a targeted level. Several handouts and maps are included.

In
this
lesson,
students
will
identify
rivers
in
their
local
area
and
compile
information
about
aquatic
life
in
or
near
these
habitats.
Through
research

sources,
the
students
will
learn
more
