Activities:
Money Down the Drain
Youth calculate the amount of water wasted by a dripping faucet and analyze the benefits of fixing leaking fixtures.
Conservation Detective
Youth monitor their personal water use at home over a one-week period. They calculate their daily and weekly totals by the type of water use. The goal is for youth to gain a better understanding of the amount of water they use and to determine ways to reduce their water use.
Let's Pledge to Save Water
Youth discuss the importance of water conservation and make a personal commitment to use only the water they need and conserve it whenever possible.
