About this Simulation

This simulation models the geographic and hydrological processes at river sources and in source regions. Learners can investigate how water originates in upland areas, explore the relationship between topography and water flow, and examine the factors that shape the landscape where rivers begin.

Learning objectives: Understand the physical characteristics and location of river sources | Investigate how relief, climate, and geology influence water origin and flow | Analyze the interconnections between watershed dynamics and landscape development
