"Shaping Watersheds" Interactive Sandbox

See with your hands. Explore how water moves down mountains into streams and through a watershed using the new Shaping Watersheds interactive exhibit. Build mountains, lakes, rivers and other landforms and make it "virtually" rain! Watch the water flow through the watershed that you created.

The "Augmented Reality" interactive sandbox uses state-of-the-art technology and your imagination to illustrate how our landscape is connected by the water that flows over it.
