“Follow the Water" is an interactive science program to understand the water cycle of Hot Springs National Park. The program is not place-based. It involves several demonstrations to illustrate the water process, the potential impact of pollution in the Hot Springs recharge zone, and hot springs ecology. The program also involves larger field activities to integrate the messages of the hot springs water cycle and the protection of the recharge zone.
This program has been developed for large public events and targeted towards families with children k-4. It lasts 1 hours to 1.5 hours. Groups can be up to 45 people per ranger. Parents and guardians are encouraged to attend.
