What is Your Watershed Address?

Table 2 has a map of the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area with puzzle pieces that you lift to reveal the name of the watershed in which you live. Graphic panels give more information and depict the larger watersheds within the entire United States.

Your Street Flows to the River

Table 3 exemplifies the problems of and solutions for our everyday activities in our own yard and driveway, and how they can impact the entire watershed. Many people are unaware that the water that flows into the storm drains in the streets goes directly to the lakes and rivers of their community and carries with it the pollutants that cause the lakes and streams to become fouled.

Your Street Connects to Lakes and Rivers *New!*

What goes down the drain can pollute our water! This is the message of our new display, which illustrates how storm drains are connected with lakes and rivers. People can interact with this display by rolling a ball from the "storm drain" on the picture down to the "river." It highlights what things are harmful to dump down the drain, and yard waste to keep out of the streets. Comes with a user manual for presentation ideas.

Table 1 will be part of a permanent exhibit at the Minnesota State Fair, and is no longer available for use at events.
