Since our water is a critical and important resource, many groups and organizations have
worked diligently to develop educational materials to assist the classroom teacher in sharing
the message of water and water conservation to America's young students.

The scope of materials available is comprehensive and is targeted to various age groups
to enable the teacher to implement grade level appropriate curriculum.

Garland Water Utilities encourages you to review materials that are available,
design a program to fit your classroom needs, and be a part of sharing
knowledge about our water and its significance to our world.

With internet access, resources are just a click away!
