Water Conservation Education Program
The Nueces River Authority will implement a comprehensive water conservation education program aimed at fifth-grade students attending public schools in six independent school districts (ISDs) within the City of Corpus Christi. Spanning the upcoming 2023-2024 academic year, the participating ISDs are Corpus Christi ISD, London ISD, Tuloso-Midway ISD, Calallen ISD, West Oso ISD, and Flour Bluff ISD. Certified educators will lead the program.
The education program will feature various instructional techniques, including the utilization of a watershed model and hands-on activities. These resources will help students comprehend the entry and contamination of rivers, bays, and aquifers by harmful pollutants. Additionally, students will learn about their significance in preserving and conserving water resources.
