Geocache Description:


Congratulations to Robfire820 for being the First To Find!

I have been looking at this place for some time. I thought it would be a wonderful addition for my interesting places to drop a cache. I spoke with the manager, Libby Albers and she was very receptive to my placing a cache here. This facility was brought about because of the groundwater contamination under downtown Wichita that was discovered in the late 1980's. The groundwater treatment system, WATER CENTER (Wichita Area Treatment, Education and Remediation Center), located here in Herman Hill Park, opened October 2003. The Water Center offers many opportunities for visitors to learn about water, conservation, aquatic wildlife and pollution prevention. The treatment system treats 1.2 million gallons of water daily. It consists of 5.5 miles of piping, thirteen extraction wells and a hydraulic-venturi air stripper treatment system. The Gilbert-Mosley Project houses a 6-stage treatment system to clean polluted groundwater.
You can see Wichita's largest outdoor public aquarium, visit the waterfalls and ponds to feed the ducks and geese and visit the Water Center to tour the museum. This would be a wonderful way to teach children about pollution and it's affects on the community. Special Interest Groups may also request a tour of the building or a customized program by scheduling a tour in advance. The museum is open from 1:00 to 4:30 p.m., Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. There is no charge for visitation.
You are looking for a regular size tupperware container about 5X5 inches, with the usual log and pen and various goodies to trade.
While you are in the area, there is also an Earth Cache at the same facility that is very fun and educational that lets you hunt for answers about water conservation. You can visit the Earth Cache at GC1HW1R. Happy Hunting!!!
