Program Overview:
Where does our water come from and how much do we use?
Over the course of two engaging classroom sessions and a take-home activity, students investigate the world's water supply, learn where their water comes from, discover how much water they use at home each day and identify ways to conserve water in their everyday lives. Using observation, data collection, recording and calculation skills, students participate in a home water audit that helps them estimate their personal daily water use. Together with their families, students identify ways they can conserve water around their house. This FREE classroom program is facilitated by city of Boulder Watershed Outreach Program staff and includes student data recording sheets and conservation packets with a shower timer, flow gauge and toilet leak tabs.
