Don’t be surprised if your local water department tries to give you A New Attitude, one that puts conserving water as the primary goal, either by education or by legal persuasion. If you are interested in finding out about water conservation education, visit the following websites: www.earthkind.tamu.edu www.twca.org www.texaswater.org
Cities are setting up water conservation seminars, websites and youth conservation programs. They’ve taken lessons from states like Florida, Arizona and California, introducing proven conservation methods and implementing them for lasting change. A list of growing resources, terms and jargon have poured their way into the everyday vernacular of city websites. Links such as earthkind.tamu.edu and twca.org can now be found squarely positioned on Home pages, where previously little or no mention of Water Conservation was made. As we approach the drought season of 2012, the lessons of the past will forever be the hard knocks of years gone by. No longer will education be the lacking component of Water Conservation.
