Global Water News Watch
SAHRA sponsors a searchable database of articles on
water issues in all areas of the world. It is updated daily and includes
a variety of topics ranging from climate change to policy to technology
to water quality. Brief, one-paragraph summaries are provided in English
with links to the source publication. Original articles are published
in English, Farsi, French, Greek, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish.
This database can be an excellent resource for middle
school, high school, and undergraduate students investigating current
issues related to water. Teachers may also find
this database to be a useful resource for preparing thematic units or
student assignments. Anyone can sign up to receive e-mail notification
of news stories related to topical or geographic areas of interest.
 Possible
classroom applications:
- Identify current water quality
issues in Arizona and test local surface water
for similar parameters.
- Integrated teams (math,
science, English, social studies, foreign language?)
collaborate on a unit on international water
issues.
