 PUBLIC SCHOOL EDUCATION PROGRAM
The service described in this document is available only to persons residing within the 15-county High Plains Underground Water Conservation District No. 1 service area.
 The goal of the High Plains Underground Water Conservation District's public school education program is to educate students about the importance of water and water conservation, to advance transfer of new water conservation technology through public education, and to attempt to modify water use habits through public education.
Target audiences are elementary school students, junior high school students, high school students, and public school administrators (water use in buildings, playgrounds, and athletic fields).
WATERWISE TM PROGRAM The High Plains Water District conducts a water conservation education program using the
WaterWiseTM materials developed by Energy Technology Laboratories and the National Energy Foundation.
Since 1996, "Water Wise" kits containing high-efficiency plumbing fixtures have been distributed to students in
participating schools within each of the five District Directors' Precincts within the Water District service area.
PRESENTATIONS
Information/Education Division staff are available to make water-related presentations to schools within the District. These presentations can be adapted to any grade level.
