Learn About the Importance of Water
Water is essential to every part of our daily lives - it keeps our communities healthy, our schools and businesses open, and our homes running smoothly. From the water we drink and use to cook, to the systems that protect public health and support our local
economy/community, reliable water service is something we all depend on.
To help student and families understand the value of this vital resource, we've got a collection of coloring pages and educational worksheets. These activities are designed to make learning about water fun and engaging while showing how clean, safe water connects to everything we do.
Water an Our Landscapes
Water also plays a major role in horticulture - helping our plants, lawns, and gardens thrive. However, water conservation is just as important outdoors as it is indoors. Choosing native and drought - tolerant plants can keep your yard beautiful while using much less water. With smart landscaping, you can create colorful, healthy outdoor spaces that support pollinators, reduce water waste, and stay green all season long.
Consider adding plants such as:
- Black-eyed Susan, Salvia, or Lantana for vibrant color and pollinator support.
- Succulents, Agave, or Yucca for low maintenance.
- Native grasses like Blue Grama or Buffalo Grass for texture and year-round visual appeal
