Education & Outreach

A stall with a person, info banners, a prize wheel, and handouts, likely at an outdoor event or fair.
SEMSWA is a member of SPLASH, a collaborative group that provides water quality information at community events throughout the South Metro area.

SEMSWA staff are involved with numerous and varied outreach activities that strengthen the connection between people and their watershed,

whether it’s a capital project being constructed in the creek adjacent to a property, a water quality education effort in an attempt to change impactful behaviors, or an appeal to be aware about the flooding potential of a creek and encourage floodplain insurance.

The goal is to foster partnerships between SEMSWA and residents and businesses with the purpose of managing storm event runoff as a natural resource benefit rather than a nuisance or harmful event. 2012 outreach events reached over 100,000 citizens via a combination of public meetings, booths, mailings, newsletters, and HOA/volunteer events.
