Project WET (Water Education for Teachers) Nevada A statewide supplementary, interdisciplinary water education program with components for the education community (K–12) and the general public. The goal of Nevada Project WET is to facilitate and promote the awareness, appreciation, knowledge, and stewardship of Nevada’s water resources through the development and dissemination of classroom-ready teaching aides, teacher training, learning materials, and demonstration models as well as the maintenance of a resource bureau. The program is designed to provide useful, unbiased information in a straight-forward, neutral fashion addressing a wide variety of water-related topics to include: atmospheric water, surface water, ground water, water conservation, water pollution, water laws, water users, and competition for limited water resources. National Project WET at Montana State University coordinates the individual state WET programs. The Nevada Division of Water Planning (Department of Conservation and Natural Resources), along with the Nevada Cooperative Extension, National Project WET, and the International Office for Water Education, sponsor the Nevada Project WET program. Other water education programs include International Office for Water Education (IOWE) established at Utah State University in 1983 to promote water/science education and the U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) National Water Information Clearinghouse (NWIC) which was established to serve as a focus for the dissemination of water resource information to all levels of government, academia, the private sector, and the general public.
