variability on groundwater rechargeand depletion, identifying regions at high risk of water scarcity.[3]The STEM initiative combines theoretical knowledge with hands-on experimentation to deepenstudents' understanding of water systems and their management. Practical activities, such asmodeling aquifer recharge and measuring water flow rates, allow students to simulate naturalprocesses like infiltration, capillary action, and groundwater movement. These experimentsdemonstrate engineering principles in action and encourage students to design prototypes for waterconservation technologies, including artificial recharge systems and irrigation networks. Byworking with laboratory equipment and field tools, students develop problem-solving andanalytical
