Montana State Legislature
How water works.
Demonstrations for the Water Policy Interim Committee on
how water works.
The Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology demonstrated how ground water interacts
with surface water, including how aquifers are recharged and the effects of wells.
When water is turned on at the top of the Department of Natural Resources and
Conservation's "Rolling River" mobile unit, it flows through the "river" and can be
used to demonstrate a variety of water lessons. (Above left.)
The Montana Waterourse demonstration showed how nonpoint pollution can reach
streams and how it can be mitigated.
