Our Water Education efforts center around this central truth: Our
economy, our natural ecosystems and our very way of life in Texas is reliant on
fishable, swimmable, drinkable water. To that end, and to help educate our public, we offer Texas Aquatic Science, a comprehensive aquatic science curriculum, from molecules to ecosystems, and headwaters to ocean, for middle school and high school students. In addition, we offer our award winning DVD series Texas:The State of Water for anyone who will host a screening for their students, family, friends, or neighbors. Contact Johnnie Smith for more information.
