To help educators and readers get the most out of this fascinating tale, we’ve included additional resources to create a complete educational package.

These additional resources include:

• A comprehensive Guide that contains associated chapter and science questions, fun facts, vocabulary words, an explanation of character names and settings, water conservation tips, and a glossary of terms.
• An interactive, animated Water Cycle Experience CD that enables viewers to “enter” the hydrologic cycle at any point in the process, allowing for a better understanding of one of nature’s most critical functions.
• Learning to Use Water Wisely, a “youth-to-youth” water conservation presentation and accompanying brochure.

These components are part of a water conservation educational program being sponsored by both the North and West Harris County Regional Water Authorities. A specially outfitted Mobile Teaching Lab will also travel to school campuses, and is available for community and neighborhood events. The Lab contains dioramas and displays which focus on where our water comes from, how we use it, and how we can protect it. The lab also includes materials and equipment for teachers to use in conducting hands-on, water-related classroom activities.

Within the boundaries of the two Authorities, there are seven independent school districts and approximately 40,000 students in grades 5 - 7. In addition, there are numerous private schools and hundreds of home-schooled youngsters.

Let’s face it... WATER IS LIFE...and the importance of respecting, preserving and protecting this precious natural resource is a message that children and their families need to absorb. Experts predict that the population in this region will double by 2060, but our water supplies will not. Using water more efficiently will not be an option for coming generations...it will be a necessity.

Through Journey and the accompanying materials, we can deliver these important messages in an entertaining and compelling way, encouraging readers to not only accept responsibility for good water stewardship, but to become actively involved in promoting water conservation, as well.

Utility districts and water industry consultants -- or any interested individual or business -- can help bring this program to their local community by sponsoring these materials for schools and educators.
