Emriver Educational Resources
Stream tables and flumes, such as those developed by Emriver, use flowing water and moveable media to simulate sediment transport in rivers and streams. These physical models help meet science education challenges by connecting hydrology to everyday life. They realistically and dynamically simulate a wide range of fluvial and coastal processes and enable learning tied to real-world problems and solutions. Teaching with this kind of physical model engages students, fosters critical thinking skills, develops positive attitudes towards STEM, and prepares the next generation for a world where interaction between humans and rivers and coasts will be increasingly important.
