Links for water education:
Graeme Daniel has compiled a comprehensive list of Australian and international water education resources. He introduces his site as follows:
Well, the IPPC's report on Climate Change 2007 has broken upon us with the convincing but not entirely unexpected news that we are all in deep trouble, unless we move quickly to modify human impact on global systems. Here in Australia, we seem to live at the cutting edge of climatic caprice - while parts of the country suffer the ravages of unprecedented bushfires and drought, vast tracts are inundated by surging floodwaters. Many of our major urban centres are trying to cope with severe water shortages, to the point of considering recycling and desalination options; most urban-dwellers here have never had to consider the sort of domestic water discipline practised by their country cousins, and it's all coming as something of a shock. This edition of WWWTools for Education offers a selection of resources which students and teachers should find useful as they address water usage issues that are bound to become more pressing as time goes on.
