Locally ­coordinated water festivals present unique opportunities to educate third-, fourth-, and fifth-grade students about local water issues and the environment. The event helps students understand the relationship and dependency we have with water and how they can protect water supplies. Water festivals are provided at no cost to schools. Hosting an event of this magnitude is made possible by many generous sponsors, presenters, and dedicated volunteers. Throughout the day, students participate in hands­-on activities and presentations led by water and natural resource experts from local, state, and national organizations, as well as trained volunteers. The activities focus on a variety of topics, including drinking water, groundwater, watersheds, surface water, water quality, and conservation. Explore to see if a water festival is held near you.
