Hello Valerie,

Creative Machines  <[log in to unmask]>, here in Tucson, 
makes a very fine water table. Actually I would characterize their unit 
as a 'stream table.'  They often use 'plastigrit' that models stream 
erosion very well.  The 'sand' and flowing water is a natural place for 
extended play and experimentation.

They have make both high-tech ( filtration and computer controlled water 
changes, etc.) and low-tech (hose and bucket) versions. They could 
probably custom design one to fit your unique situation. 

Tom Egan (www.egancreations.com) also makes a nice 'water table' exhibit.
