Water Conservation Project

Do you know how much water you use each day? Take the Water Audit below and find out! This tool will take you through a series of questions about the most common things we use water for and at the end you will find out your typical water use. You will also find a list of ways to conserve water. Start saving today and we will be adding up the savings from around the state!

We also have a Water Audit Curriculum for teachers with an online tool for students. To get the curriculum and find out more, click here.

RESOURCES FOR TEACHERS

We have created a Water Conservation Curriculum for 4th & 5th grade that meet education standards in math, social studies and science. There is also an online tool for students to use that shows them how much water they use in a day. We are looking for teachers to pilot the curriculum in their classroom and give us feedback from their experience so that we can make it the best resource for teachers that it can be. Download the curriculum for 4th grade and 5th grade here. Please contact Joan Nephew, Executive Director, at freshwater@freshwater.org if you are interested in piloting this curriculum in your classroom.

We also have a free poster series on water for your classroom. Please click here to learn more.
