WATER FESTIVALS
Water Festivals educate elementary students (primarily 4th graders) about the importance of water resources and water quality through fun and educational festivals which include hands-on activities, education from a variety of "water" professionals, and an entertaining show (like Eco-Magician Steve Trash).
