National Environmental Education Week connects your students to experts who can answer their questions! In support of EE Week's 2009 Be Water Wise! theme, we invite you to submit your students' questions about water to be answered by our panel of experts. Answers will be posted to EEWeek.org during EE Week (April 12-18, 2009.) The panel of experts is a diverse group of water professionals who can answer questions on a variety of topics, including:
Water treatment
Water quality
Aquatic biology
Water chemistry
Drought and water scarcity
Infrastructure and engineering
Pollution and mitigation
And more!
***You can only submit two questions (total)!!!***
I will submit students' water-related questions by March 15, 2009!
