Download materials
This guide is a complete manual for organizing and running educational visits at water treatment plants that use groundwater sources.
It is built around several thematic stories adapted to the age level of primary and secondary school pupils. The publication contains detailed descriptions of technological processes, practical preparation advice and answers to common questions, helping to create an engaging and educational tour.
For teachers and water treatment plant staff, it is a valuable tool for making excursions more interesting while clearly explaining the complexity and importance of drinking water treatment.
Using this material can help raise public awareness of the water treatment process and address the common misconception that high-quality tap water is automatic.
The health and safety guidelines cover safety rules for student visits to water management facilities.
Worksheets are also available to test students' knowledge of the topic in an engaging way.
