Course Description |
This 4-hour water basics course provides IRWA members and non-members with the basics of our
renewable resource: water. This course covers water sources and our relationship with water.
In addition, the terms aquatic ecosystem and watershed will be introduced, and based on
environmental analysis requirements, are included in project documentation. The environment and
natural resources are complex, diverse, and complicated. It takes time to assess the viability
of a project prior to kicking off activities. For example, if the proposed project is located near a
wetland, has endangered species, and/or high community engagement, the scope, location, and
route are usually discussed, and if possible, the area is avoided. Participants will also learn how
agencies and the collective community might work together to conserve and protect our water
resources.
