A clean safe water supply is vital to life and health and flooding can cause damage and disruption to communities. The STEM Central water context  deals with the work of civil engineers who conceive, design, plan, construct and maintain all the infrastructure for water, waste water and flood protection.

If you are looking for partnership working to enhance learning and teaching associated with water, why not take a look at the work of The James Hutton Institute? In April, primary four learners at Wormit Primary School in Fife explored water from a new perspective – how much water is needed to make a plate of beans on toast? 

Research work from The James Hutton Institute ties in with learning in sciences at all levels within the Curriculum for Excellence including new National Qualifications in Biology, Environmental Science, Physics and Science.
