Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority Water Resource Education

Short Description:
  Our water resource educators come to you to help students understand that water is a precious and scarce resource, where their drinking water comes from, and what they can do to protect our water. Presentations last about 45 minutes and include a hands-on activity and interactive style that students really enjoy. Open to all students, all grades, all schools, all groups and events in the general service area of the Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority. Free tours also offered to the new drinking water administrative building to learn how the Rio Grande River surface water is purified and will become a major source of local drinking water by summer 2008. To schedule a visit, call 768-3245 or email us at rhsparks@cabq.gov.
