What is Project WET?

Project WET is an international, interdisciplinary, water education program for formal and non-formal educators of kindergarten to grade 12 students intended to supplement a school's existing curriculum.

The Program is grounded in well defined beliefs that are reflected in the materials and in training opportunities:

  • Water of sufficient quality and quantity is important for all water users (e.g., energy producers, farmers and ranchers, fish and wildlife, manufacturers, recreationists, rural and urban dwellers).
  • Sustainable water management is crucial for providing tomorrow's children with social and economic stability in a healthy environment.
  • Awareness of, and respect for, water resources can encourage a personal, lifelong commitment of responsibility and positive community participation.
