Tennessee Water Sentinels

Youth Outreach

The Tennessee Water Sentinels have partnered with the City of Memphis in a program known as Solid Waste Environmental Enrichment Program or SWEEP. This program gives high school students hands-on experience in how solid wastes as well as sewage and storm water are managed in Memphis. The Tennessee Water Sentinels showed the students how to test water samples as well as conducted a clean-up at Wolf River Harbor.
