The EnviroScape™ is a desktop model, developed by the Terrene Institute to demonstrate point and nonpoint sources and prevention of pollution in a watershed. Sixty-three of these models are located with county conservation boards, soil and water conservation districts, colleges, and other environmental education organizations in Iowa. Educators can demonstrate how human actions impact aquatic resources and how responsible actions can restore and/or protect those resources. The models can be used to enhance activities from Project WILD Aquatic and other curriculum materials designed for use in both schools and nonformal settings.

The Stream Table shows how sediment, vegetation, and flowing water interact in a dynamic stream system. The model can be used to provide an interactive, hands-on demonstration for participants of all ages. The large, water-tight box (measuring 36" x 6' 8") can be used outdoors as well as indoors. The Stream Table allows the presenter to show a series of events that may take years to occur in a natural system.
