"

I think you have hit on a most effective way to take a most important message to the children of our state, at the time in their development when they can understand and embrace its importance. Your efforts will make infinitely easier the job of water policy people in the next generation.”

—Governor Bill
  Richardson


"

Thank you so much. Now that you taught us how to conserve water I have become much more careful on how I use water. It feels good that I can be helping the community by doing little things that make a big difference. Thank you for spending your time with us to teach us.”

—Alex A., Cleveland Middle School

 

Children's Water Festivals | Water Resource Education | Water Resource Exhibit

HOME

The best formal and informal educators understand that multiple teaching strategies help students more effectively grasp core concepts. As educators, we make sure to tell them. We almost always show them. But how often do we require students to get involved?

At Experiential EE, LLC we produce and manage projects that bring high quality environmental education directly to teachers and students. We incorporate hands-on activities that require critical reflection. Students learn because they are engaged. Teachers learn how they can use environmental education topics and techniques to teach the state curriculum standards.

Children’s Water Festivals

Water comes to life for fourth grade students and teachers who participate in one of these fantastic field trips. From simple hydrology to complex water rights decision making, students learn what they can do to protect their local water. We produce events in Albuquerque/Bernalillo County and Rio Rancho. For more information about our festivals, call 505-975-0036 or visit www.waterfestnm.com.

Water Resource Education

Where does my drinking water come from right now? What about in the future? What can I do to protect our water? How is water a precious and scarce resource? These questions and more are covered by our team of water resource educators who conduct in-class presentations to students in grades 1-12 on behalf of the Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority. To schedule a classroom visit, call 505-975-0036. For more information about this program, email katie@waterfestnm.com or visit www.abcwua.org/waterconservation/education/.

Water Resources Exhibit

One way to communicate the importance of water issues is through a public exhibit.  In 2008, the New Mexico Environment Department contracted with Experiential EE to produce a compact traveling exhibit as part of its larger Green Expo sustainability project covering the topics of water, waste management/recycling, energy and green building.  The result was Water Wonders, a five-panel, interactive exhibit covering worldwide and local water use, water conservation, water pollution, energy and water and water conservation success stories from New Mexico.  The traveling exhibit has been on display at the New Mexico Expo State Fair Grounds, Las Cruces Fair Grounds and the University of New Mexico.  To schedule the exhibit to visit your New Mexico-based organization, contact Jill Turner, jill.turner@state.nm.us or 505-231-4996.

How do we use our water?  Whether it’s an apple, pair of jeans, electricity or pound of beef, it takes a lot of water to maintain our current lifestyle.

A tiny percentage of Earth’s water is drinkable fresh water. Yet everyday we reduce the amount of usable water without even touching it. How?  By contaminating it with the harmful by-products of our daily activities. How do we change that?

Water and energy are truly interdependent. This interconnection creates difficult challenges for the future as we try to supply energy and water to a growing population at the same time that we try to reduce our use of each of these resources.

Water Wonders: Our place in the world of water.  Every living thing on Earth needs water to exist and water is found in all living things. It has no substitutes.  If we can’t live without water, what do we need to know to preserve & protect it?
