On Wednesday April 22, Ecohydrology Group members visited the KW Bilingual School to spread awareness and demonstrate support for environmental protection. Canada Excellence Research Chair, Philippe Van Cappellen, opened the event with a lecture on the availability and human impact on freshwater resources in Canada and around the globe. Afterwards, students participated in dynamic demonstrations on the web of life and ocean circulation, followed by interactive activity stations. Within these stations, students learned about soil erosion, acid rain, groundwater pollution, the impact of leaky faucets and water use in the development of products and breakfast food.
