Water Stewardship Audit for Rice Spaces

How much is used, where it comes from, what condition it leaves in.

The leaving condition is the part that is usually ignored. Water that exits a plot carries sediment and whatever was applied to the field, and testing turbidity is simple enough to do with a jar and a marked card.

The page has the audit method, a simple turbidity test, a usage calculation and a recommendations frame. It also covers the shared nature of the resource, which means an improvement upstream benefits people the students will never meet, and that is a real feature of water systems worth naming.
