Thank you for downloading this free resource. Let us know how we are doing and leave us a review.

Suitable for 11-18-year olds (secondary, middle and high schools), this article and accompanying activity sheet can be used in the classroom, in science clubs and at home.

This resource links to KS3 *Human and physical geography *and KS4 Earth and atmospheric science but is also relevant internationally and is a good climate change resource.

It can also be used as a careers resource and links to Gatsby Benchmarks:
Gatsby Benchmark 2: Learning from career and labour market information
Gatsby Benchmark 4: Linking curriculum learning to careers

The article includes a summary of a water research project, an interview with the hydrologist Dr Emile Elias and an overview of the Southwest Climate Hub in the USA.

The activity sheet includes discussion points - eight questions the students can answer in groups or individually. There are also links to other relevant resources from the Asombro Institute for Science Education.

This resource was first published on Futurum Careers, a free online resource and magazine aimed at encouraging 14-19-year-olds worldwide to pursue careers in science, tech, engineering, maths, medicine (STEM) and social sciences, humanities and the arts for people and the economy (SHAPE).
