Project WET believes:

  • Water moves through living and nonliving systems and binds them together in a complex web of life.
  • Water of sufficient quality and quantity is important for all water users (energy producers, farmers and ranchers, fish and wildlife, manufacturers, recreationists, rural and urban dwellers).
  • Wise water management is crucial for providing tomorrow’s children with social and economic stability in a healthy environment.
  • Awareness of and respect for water resources can encourage a lifelong commitment to responsibility and positive community participation.
  • Instruction and Delivery Network
  • The Project believes in training. People are introduced to Project WET materials at workshops conducted by an international network of facilitators. Workshops are an exciting, engaging and powerful learning experience. Educators of all disciplines receive the latest materials, learn to teach water education activities and walk away inspired.

Instructional Approach

  • Project WET materials are interdisciplinary, hands-on, minds-on teaching tools for educators teaching students ages 5-18 years old and beyond. All materials are designed to help educators and students engage and explore the world of water while complementing existing curricula as well as meeting curriculum objectives and educational standards. All materials are appropriate for use in formal and non-formal education settings.
