Richland County educators are invited to borrow a Rainfall Simulator for classroom and youth group presentations. The model may be borrowed for a one-week period, and the borrower is responsible for the model's pickup and return.
The Rainfall Simulator can be used to teach about soil health, erosion, stormwater runoff, infiltration, water pollution, and the importance of soil organic matter and groundcover.
The simulator includes stainless steel soil cutter and containment screen, stand and water reservoir, infiltration and runoff catchment basin, and prepared soil samples.
