Water: The Source of Life: Video | Nature Works Everywhere
As water travels across our planet, it shapes our environment, connects all living things, and is critical for survival. But how does our water get from its source to its destination, and what does it encounter along the way? This video follows the journey of water to find out how one city, Bogotá, gets water from its source in Chingaza National Park and the surrounding páramo ecosystem. Along the way, students learn about the people and communities whose health and well-being depend on this vital resource.
The following lesson plans accompany this video:
- Finding Your Flow: A Toolkit for Watershed Engagement Lesson Plan
- Biomimicry - Water Security Inspired by Nature: Lesson Plan
