The library collects books on a wide range of topics relating to the science of water -- from climate change to wastewater treatment to frogs. Any adult Wisconsin resident or member of the UW System can check out materials.
Model the journey water takes at a Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) through a series of hands-on steps around a tabletop model. Learn about our microplastic pollution problem, and discover what happens to the pollutants as they enter and pass through a WWTP. Can be use for informal learning and can be adapted to other settings.
