Learning about Water Conservation is crucial for our students if we want them to become responsible citizens. But who has time to stay up-to-date on water issues, create curriculum, and tie it to the Standards and Benchmarks? We do!

We are particularly proud to sponsor the annual Water Festival for fourth grade students. To learn more about it, you can read an article about the 2008 Water Festival, written by students at Albuquerque's School on Wheels. Or, visit the Water Festival web site. Although the festival occurs in the fall, applications for the 2009 Water Festival will be accepted March through August of 2009. |

The Water Authority offers free classroom publications and videos, which we bring to classrooms when we do presentations. In addition, you can order free materials here. We have a new activity book to teach students in grades 1-3 about water conservation.
