Know Your H20: Understanding and Protecting Water in the Okanagan

The "Know Your H2O: Understanding and Protecting Water in the Okanagan" video project was developed by the City of Kelowna's Water Smart Program in partnership with the Okanagan Basin Water Board and its Okanagan WaterWise outreach and education program.
The video looks at the various issues facing water in the Okanagan - both the amount we have, and its quality. An accompanying teachers guide was developed and includes ideas and questions relating to concepts presented in the video, as well as information regarding existing resources that can be used to expand on the topics. The goal is to have students learn and act... To have them process the information, expand the discussion, explore ways to inspire others and possibly invent or enhance tools and actions to reduce water use at home and throughout the Okanagan valley.
The guide and the video were created for use with, but not limited to, students in Grades 6 to 10.
