The resources in this collection, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), look at how we meet our increasing water demands, the importance of clean water to public health, water shortages and engineering solutions to providing clean water. There is also a product design project to develop a ‘marketing and branding’ campaign for a pure water product. The resources can be used individually, as a cross-curricular collapsed timetable resource or as a part of full scheme of work.
