Water Webquest

Create an informational blog about your action project and the impact on the watershed.  Make it as a public service announcement.  Include a picture.  

Evaluation:
Your project will be evaluated based on the following criteria: 
  • Is your blog clear and concise? 
  • Does your public service announcement hook your readers?
  • Does your public service announcement educate your readers to the problems of water pollution?
  • Does your public service announcement inform your readers on what they can do to prevent or treat water pollution?
  • Did you include a photo, creative commons or public domain only, with a powerful title?

The Task:
Th blog should help to increase public awareness about water pollution and it will hopefully help to prevent its spread or keep the water and climate clean. 

In your blog, include the following information (what types of pollutions can affect OUR river?): 

  1. What is water pollution (describe the 7 types)?
  2. What is a point source of pollution? What is a non-point source of pollution?
  3. What are some of the sources of water pollution (describe 3 causes, tie to your action project)?
  4. What are three of the consequences of water pollution?
  5. What can be done to improve the quality of water after it has become polluted?  What are some actions that can be taken to help prevent water from becoming polluted?
