Inspire the next generation of groundwater professionals with the Awesome Aquifer Kit

March 2, 2023

Awesome Aquifer

With our families, businesses and communities depending on a stable water supply, we take a moment as National Groundwater Week approaches to highlight a great tool that can inspire the next generation to become passionate about protecting our drinking water.

The Awesome Aquifer Kit from the Groundwater Foundation is a hands on way to see what happens to our groundwater. Coming with the slogan “Advanced Hydrogeology Kit”, the activity kit includes multiple lessons such as:

  • Differences between groundwater and surface water
  • Pumping the water supply
  • Porosity
  • Permeability
  • Contamination clues
  • Cleaning up groundwater

The kit is easy to transport in its durable storage box with lid and comes with everything you need including an illustrated activity book, well simulators, contamination and remediation supplies.

More than just groundwater education

In addition to increasing students’ groundwater awareness, the kit helps build educators’ understanding of effective ways of developing students’ data literacy skills – thinking about how data is collected, interpreted, and communicated in meaningful ways.

Participants at community events, fairs, and festivals also enjoy the interactive nature of the activities.
