ABCWUA Water Resource Education
Water Resource Education: A Field Trip in Your Own Classroom!
The Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority (ABCWUA) has launched a major effort beginning in 2007 to teach citizens about changes coming soon regarding the source of our drinking water supply. As you may know, 100% of Albuquerque’s drinking water comes from an aquifer deep beneath us. By the summer of 2008 -- for the first time in history -- this will change to a combination of surface (river) water and aquifer water.
We hope you will invite one of our water resource educators into area K-12 classrooms to engage students in a 45 minute, hands-on presentation. Our mission is to help them understand where their drinking water comes both now and in the near future, and teach them what they can do to help conserve and protect their drinking water supply. Our program includes presentations that appeal to all grades. Much of what we teach fits into one or more state standards, not only in science, but in math, social studies and language arts. This means that our presentations are suited to each of these core curriculum areas.
Please see the attached flyer for more information.
To schedule a classroom presentation, contact: Roberta Haynes-Sparks, 505-768-3245 or rhsparks@cabq.gov.
