MSD Project Clear Clean Water Education

A free stormwater education program for St. Louis City and County schools within MSD Project Clear service area

The health of our nearby rivers, creeks, and streams is an ever increasing challenge in our community—and it takes all of us to help! Reducing stormwater runoff and other best management practices can help protect our local waterways. The field of stormwater management is becoming more vital to our livelihoods, and future engineers and other professionals in STEM fields are needed to continue progress. The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District (MSD) Clean Water Education program provides educators throughout the MSD service area with educational resources to help bring this topic to life in the classroom through hands-on demonstrations, action projects, and more.

Bring this topic to life in your classroom through the MSD Project Clear Clean Water Education program today!

For questions or to learn more, contact us at MSDCleanwater@mobot.org or (314) 577-0281

In addition, we offer clean water professional development workshops to teachers and other educators.  Learn more
