Conservation Education

Educational programs offered by the TWDB focus on building understanding about water resources, state water planning, and water conservation across the state. Educational programs include K-12 school-based programs, training and workshops for adults, conservation literature, and conservation outreach.

In order to better serve the school-based audience, TWDB Kids was created and offers K-12 educational resources including:

• Major Rivers (4th and 5th grade),
• Raising Your Water IQ (middle school) and
• Water Exploration (high school).

All of TWDB's major educational programs were designed with the assistance of Texas educators and are correlated with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and STAAR objectives in order to meet requirements for acceptable classroom curricula.

Educational Campaign Resources

Texas Runs on Water

Texas Runs on Water is a statewide water campaign inspiring Texans to have a hand in our water future.

Expand Public Awareness

TWDB also have a guide available for water utilities that would like to expand or develop a public awareness program for water conservation.  Developing a Water Conservation Public Awareness Program: A Guide for Utilities helps utilities implement goals for an effective program by making use of the mass media.  Topics include working with local media, reaching an audience, tracking media coverage, and other resources.
