2025 Earth Day

Welcome to DFW Airport Earth Month 2025!

April 1-30, 2025

2025 Activity Lesson – All Grade Levels

Stormwater Infiltration for Flood Prevention

urban flooding
Vital to managing excess overflow in urban areas during rain events, stormwater infiltration systems manage and capture stormwater runoff, filter out pollutants, and refresh groundwater supplies.
Learn about:
  • How different soil types influence water infiltration.
  • Infiltration drainage system functionality and how it manages runoff generated during rain events.
Kit will include:
  • Materials to build a soil column to observe how stormwater moves through the soil. The column soil structure has good water penetration, drainage, and aeration.
This kit will support one class, size 20-30 students.
