You can help make a difference in water quality drop by drop.
What’s in your water? How can your actions help reduce and prevent water pollution? Discover what the most common water pollutants are and how you can prevent water pollution by paying attention to what you put down the drain at home and how you manage your yard. Explore how the water treatment process cleans water before it returns to lakes, rivers, and streams.
This program will be presented by Sarah Zack, pollution prevention specialist, Abigail Garofalo, natural resources, environment, and energy educator, Eliana Brown, water quality and stormwater specialist, and Peggy Anesi, natural resources, environment, and energy educator.
