GET WET! Project
Protect Your Community's Water
The GET WET! Project addresses residential water needs by collaborating with local universities, government representatives, businesses, conservation commissions, ENGOs, parents, and community volunteers to assure all interested parties are heard. Focusing on local environmental issues through school-centered community-based curriculum increases participation and opens a dialogue regarding local resources, jobs, human health, politics, and economics. Allowing the community to decide which of the concerns they feel deserves the most attention provides an autonomy that may be more palatable.
MISSION: To bring collaborative environmental research into the community through the classroom in order to understand local environmental changes and promote public health through safe drinking water.
A bottom-up community-based program involving all stakeholders in a collaborative effort to protect and mange local source waters.
