Two interactive computer games are available from the Conservation Technology Information Center at Purdue University:

"The Living Landscape" takes learners of all ages through various best management and conservation practices to turn a rundown farm and landscape into an environmental showplace.

"Splash" delivers information on nonpoint source pollution in a fast-paced and entertaining format. Appealing for audiences of all ages, it teaches fundamental concepts about nonpoint source pollution prevention measures in a farm, a city, and a neighborhood setting. Point and click screens that move and have sound help players learn how day-to-day decisions can affect the water quality of lakes and streams.
