	EnviroScape Model EnviroScape is a portable, interactive 3-D environmental model that illustrates residential, recreational, agricultural, industrial and transportation areas -- all representing possible sources of water pollution. Children learn by using chemicals (drink mix) and loose soil (cocoa) throughout a typical community to see how their actions and those of others may affect our water quality. EnviroScapes are engaging and effective in creating a real sense of understanding through experience and hands-on demonstration. This makes complex issues much clearer and helps people see how to prevent water pollution in their own communities.
	Water Treatment Display Model The DeKalb County Water Treatment Display shows the entire water system in the county from the river to the tap and back to the river again. Children will gain a clear understanding of the water treatment process including how the water gets to their homes and what happens to the water after it leaves their homes.
	Fats, Oils and Grease Model (FOG) The FOG (fats, oils and grease) Display is a portable, miniature house that illustrates the effects of improper disposal of fats, oils and grease in homes. Children learn by viewing the inside of the house with the miniature people demonstrating the correct and incorrect ways to dispose of FOG.
