What is Project WET?
Project WET is a collaboration between Rutherford County, Murfreesboro City, LaVergne, and Smyrna stormwater departments to educate children and the general public about the importance of CLEAN water.
WET stands for Water Education Today. Project WET is an international, interdisciplinary, water science and education program for formal and non-formal education of K-12 students. In Tennessee, the mission of Project WET is to help teachers provide water education to their students. Project WET's Guide 2.0 activities are correlated to Common Core math and English language arts standards.
