The Mill River Wetland Committee and Fairfield Public Schools unveiled a newly recreated Groundwater Unit model to teach students about the water cycle.
The hands-on model was originally created in 2002. After years of use, the original model needed renewal.
The new model was reproduced by Fairfield Warde High School Technology Education Teacher Luke Allen and his students.
Educators say it's important to teach students about the water cycle.
"Our resources are finite, and we have to protect these habitats, ecosystems and the watershed." said Samantha Anderson, director of education at the Miller River Wetland Committee. "So, it's important to everybody."
Officials say this new version ensures that the program continues to enrich the Next Generation Science Standards curriculum for years to come.
