Water quality education
Water quality is tied to environmental health. When drinking water is of a poor quality, human health can suffer. When water quality in rivers, lakes, and streams is poor, plants and animals can suffer as well. Schools can teach community members about the importance of water quality, to encourage responsibility, sustainable behaviors, and watershed stewardship.
