Learners will become familiar with business, governmental, nonprofit and/or individual efforts to keep our water supply clean and promote the common good. Learners will describe water as a scarce natural resource that is often polluted and made unusable for consumers. They will describe philanthropic acts related to water which contribute to the common good and will research their local water sources, describing impairments that pollute water. Through art they will illustrate techniques for water conservation that everyone can use. They will analyze the characteristics necessary for those who participate in clean water volunteer efforts and will describe local clean water efforts.

• Learners will create a poster for Clean Water Safety which will be donated for use in the school or community to raise awareness of water issues and what individuals can do to help the cause.
  
  
• Depending on the type of local project available, learners will participate in a clean water restoration project or water testing.
