Education

Learning can be a fun, life-long adventure. In this section, adults will find information on how their daily lives impact water resources and how they can lessen negative impacts; children of all ages will find games to play, fun water facts and ideas for science fair projects; and educators will find resources and tools to use in traditional and nontraditional classrooms to demonstrate how water plays a part in our everyday lives.
