Program Description:

Water is an important resource. In Oklahoma we can experience both extreme rainfall and periods of extreme drought. Because of this, it is important to understand water resources and the need to use them as efficiently as possible. In the house, small leaks can be huge water wasters. Outdoor water use can account for as much as 50% of a household's consumption. We will explore indoor outdoor water saving tips to help us become conservationists.
