Water

Water is life! Schools use a lot of water for outdoor landscaping, fields, swimming pools, bathrooms, and kitchens. The more water is conserved in buildings and gardens, the more can remain in streams, lakes, and aquifers for fish, birds, and other wildlife. Learn how your students can help protect watersheds, save water at school, and understand their water footprint.
