Watershed/Nonpoint Source is the first in the EnviroScape series -- also known as EnviroScape I and EnviroScape II. Water pollution comes from many sources. Nonpoint sources contribute a great deal to the pollution in our water bodies. The combined affect of pollution from many small sources can have a real impact on the quality of our shared water resources.

EnviroScape Watershed/Nonpoint Source tracks pollution from nonpoint sources, including

  • residential areas,
  • forestry areas,
  • transportation,
  • recreation,
  • agriculture and construction,
  • as well as from industry as a point source.

Pollution and runoff are visually apparent when rain falling over the landscape top carries 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. It discusses nonpoint source pollution and the steps everyone can take to help prevent environmental contamination. It is also good for discussion about overall watershed concepts.

EnviroScape Watershed/Nonpoint Source teaches the watershed concept in addition to point and nonpoint source pollution. 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.

What Users Say . . .

"Using the EnviroScape unit, people can learn how water can become polluted when it travels over land, streets, yards and through storm drains and how their personal actions can affect the health of waterways where they live. The statistics collected over the years show that students have a better understanding of the stormwater runoff problem through the use of this model. This helps the RCD show its funders that the program is educating the students."
CYNTHIA MALLETT, Education Coordinator Resource Conservation District of Greater San Diego County
"It's a people thing. At Cargill, the employees are the volunteers who go into the communities. With EnviroScape, they can show why pollution prevention is important for everyone. It's our way of giving back and more."
BILL PRESTON, Cargill, Saginaw Foods Division
 
"EnviroScape is the leading teaching tool that water educators have for portraying the complexity and importance of water quality practices. We have used EnviroScape at every one of our Children's Groundwater Festivals. And, the expansion of the program and supplemental teaching materials just keep getting better through time."
SUSAN SEACREST, President, The Groundwater Foundation

You have the option of purchasing the New & Improved DELUXE Carrying Case on Wheels or the black nylon Tote/Shoulder Bag for transporting the unit, but they are not necessary.

NEW! Improved Carrying Case! We've taken the best from the Heavy-Duty Carrying case and made it better! Now called the DELUXE CARRYING CASE, the new case is made from a strong nylon material with reinforced sides, padded protection, wheels, a retractable handle and an additional side handle. It's much easier to transport, remove and replace the EnviroScape model, and much lighter to lift. Warm brown in color, the new improved Deluxe Carrying Case replaces the original case.

TOTE/SHOULDER BAG: No more zippers -- place your EnviroScape model(s) in the bag & go! Plus, it's big enough for the foam padded box. The tote bag replaces our nylon shoulder bag, and is 33.5" x 28" x 10", made from strong black polyester, with adjustable handles and inside pockets.
