Groundwater Education through Well Water Evaluation and Testing (GET WET!) training session
Are you interested in volunteering to teach elementary and middle school students and the public about the importance of drinking water testing and protection?
On
Wednesday March 5 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Green Mountain Conservation Group (GMCG) will host a Groundwater Education through Well Water Evaluation and Testing (GET WET!) training session at the GMCG conservation center located at
236 Huntress Bridge Rd, Effingham, NH.
Participants will learn how they can volunteer to help bring this important drinking water protection program to local schools and public libraries. Participants can bring in a sample of their home well water and test it for six parameters, including: chloride, conductivity, hardness, nitrates/nitrites, pH, and iron.
The mission of GET WET! is to bring collaborative environmental research into the community through the classroom in order to understand local environmental changes and promote public health through safe drinking water.
No science or teaching experience necessary. Open to high school age and above. The GET WET! program is available for public, private, and home school groups.
