On April
25 Jenna Peck, District Coordinator, talked with the Decatur
County YMCA preschool classes on the importance of soil and water
conservation. The kids learned how much soil and water we have
available for us to use on the Earth and how they can help protect
it.
They were then made 'Drop Stoppers' promising to not let water drop
around the house. Also talked about were ways to conserve water
around the house and how to stop water they find dripping. A BIG
thank you to all preschool classes on their promise to help protect
our Earth!

WELCOME TO THE WATER WISE FOR CHILDREN SECTION!!
Water is vital to our life. Water makes up more than
60% of our body, and about 75% of our brain. Water helps make possible
our every movement, thought, and feeling.
All our food and most other products we use require
water. It takes about 4,000 gallons of water to grow a bushel of corn,
and about 11,000 gallons for a bushel of wheat.
We sometimes take water for granted. But this
precious resource may become increasingly scarce as we place more
demands on fresh water supplies.
To ensure future water supplies, we need to learn
about water resources, and plan to use them carefully.
Join us as we help share with friends, neighbors,
colleagues, and children the very important reasons we all need to be
"Water Wise." Go wild for water conservation!!!
