You can't be hydrolocal unless you have a good understanding of the amount of water you can collect and how much water you need. This week, we will collect data about a number of systems at the Living Lab and Learning Center, analyze the data to understand what it is telling us, and use that understanding to tell our local water story.
Here is the detailed schedule for this week:
Monday, 10 July: Watersheds and Hydrolocalism
Maps and activities to understand watersheds and the watershed we live in
A tour of the Watershed Management Group Living Lab and Learning Center to see hydrolocal practices in action
Take a deeper dive into the watershed with Google Earth and USGS maps
Tuesday, 11 July: The Water Cycle

Model the water cycle in Tucson using Minecraft
Wednesday, 12 July: Living Lab Monitoring

Use data from the Living Lab to visualize water supply and demand
Thursday, 13 July: Data collection
