Navajo Nation: Water for Life in the Southwest

Abstract

There are a number of factors that could affect the water availability and quality on the Navajo Nation, but one well known component is the mining of uranium and other materials. This curriculum is designed to examine those everyday water issues, including those caused by mining, that are daily affecting the living conditions of Navajo children. Its intent is to help them understand water information in a connected way by providing the parts needed for understanding the whole.
