Water Use Efficiency Education

Water Use Efficiency is available for students in grades Pre K-12. The Water Use Efficiency program is designed to meet California State Standards and is free of charge. Water is a very important natural resource; this program helps to make students more aware of water and the need for conservation. The educator will come to your facility or school to present this program.  See the education page for information on IERCD's other environmental education programs.

Pre K-8:  The Water Use Efficiency Program teaches students about where their water comes from, the water cycle, how much water they use daily, and how to use water more efficiently at home and at school, with the help of colorful diagrams and maps. The educator will use an Enviroscape® model to explain how ground water is used.  The instructional period is followed by a game where participating students answer trivia questions about water use and efficiency.

 

9-12:  The Water Use Efficiency Program teaches students about where their water comes from, how much water they use daily, and how to use water more efficiently at home and at school. At this level, students also explore water treatment very thoroughly, aided by a demonstration by the IERCD educator using the waste water treatment Enviroscape® model.  The teacher can request the ground water Enviroscape® model instead of the waste water model.
