Students, whether you are studying science, geography, or social studies, at some point you will encounter the topic of water. Water truly is the essence of life EVERYWHERE. Use our website to reacquaint you with the process of treating wastewater, explore careers in water quality management, or to locate resources for research.

MMSD offers a great resource that can be incorporated into your classroom lesson plans and other learning exercises. This H2O section of our website is a collection of real-time water quality data that can be used in a variety of ways in the classroom:

• Compare with water samples you collect in your classroom projects
• Download the data for graphing
• Water quality comparisons by watersheds
• Ecosystem evaluations
•   and more!

Water continues to serve as a major conduit through which we analyze the overall health of our environment.  These analyses take into account all aspects of water where it is, where it isn't; how much of it is, its temperature, the amount of oxygen it contains, the type of aquatic life it supports, and much more.
