Advocacy Project: Clean Water Activity






I Want my Water Clean, Cheap, and Tastin' Good!!

This is your opportunity to learn a little bit about the cost of waters infrastructure in the United States of America.
I put together a little quiz for you just so you would look through the following web-sites to find the answers.

This is such an interesting topic since it relates to each and everyone of us at some level.

The information comes from these two websites:
EPA.GOV Safewater
EPA.GOV Needs Factsheet
Another site that is interesting reading is:
CDC.GOV The Value of Tap Water

Have fun with the the test. Thank you very much and stay thirsty.

    Fun test... I only got 60% though.. and seems Kristi got 100%. I'm guessing she was there when you did it, or she just really knows her water facts!
