Outreach Opportunities

Whatever your passion or profession, if it involves water, let Central help you put on a successful presentation.

We can provide knowledgeable speakers or help you to prepare your own speech. We have resource materials available for classrooms and colleagues.

Additionally, Central will loan out an interactive, 3D groundwater model called the Envision 3000. The display, approximately 3 foot wide by 2 foot high, is an accurate depiction of a drainage basin. It’s cross section design shows the different aquifer layers and has 9 demonstration wells along with a lake, septic tank and underground storage tank. The rainmaker attachment produces active rainfall on the whole system. Envision 3000 is great for a visual learning tool, or can be used to demonstrate actual water movement throughout a basin. Professional staff members will bring the model to you and perform the demonstrations, or you can have the model on short term loan at your school or establishment.

If you are an educator, we have age appropriate interactive DVD’s concerning groundwater, water quality and irrigation. We also have a complete set of the Water Wise Colorado Curriculum, created by a team of professors, teachers and scientists. The K - 12 curriculum has lesson plans and activities for each age group.

To learn more about any of these opportunities, please contact Public Information/Education Coordinator Kathy Parker at 970-330-4540. You can also email her at kparker@ccwcd.org.

Remember, the future is in your hands!
