Water purification is one of the most important subjects facing people everywhere. Though there are many ways to artificially purify water there are also natural ways that this can be achieved. Through ecosystems like the Museum at Prairiefire Wetlands MAP scientists can research how water systems can purify themselves and be treated through engineering. Join MAP scientists to explore the hard-working Museum at Prairiefire Wetlands and investigate how water sculpts the land with our hands-on stream table.
