the Watershed Game

The Watershed Game is an interactive, educational tool and exercise that helps individuals understand the connection between land use and water quality. Participants learn how a variety of land uses impact water and natural resources, increase their knowledge of best management practices (BMPs), and learn how their choices can prevent adverse impacts. Participants apply plans, practices, and policies that help them achieve clean water goals for protection and restoration while providing for community growth. The Watershed Game is available in three versions; STREAM, RIVER, and LAKE.

For more information, see the Watershed Game Fact Sheet.

The NEW 2012 Versions feature revised graphics, land uses, new and improved BMPs, cost/benefits, pollution points, incorporation of climate change and policies, and updated instructions. Select the 2012 updates for highlights of the 2012 version.
