Ground Water Poster - Grade School

Poster Series

This poster is the fourth in a series of water-resources education posters developed through the Water Resources Education Initiative. The Water Resources Education Initiative is a cooperative effort between public and private education interests. Partners in the program include the U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service of the U.S. Department of the Interior, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the American Water Resources Association, the Nebraska Groundwater Foundation, and the National Science Teachers Association.

The first completed poster in the series is entitled "Water: The Resource That Gets Used & Used & Used for Everything!" The second and third posters in the series are entitled "How Do We Treat Our Wastewater?" and "Wetlands: Water, Wildlife, Plants & People!" The posters in the series are designed to be joined together to create a wall mural. A schematic of the wall mural including the topics for the completed and planned posters is displayed on this panel. The lightly shaded spaces indicate the completed posters. The dark-shaded space is this poster.

Water-resources topics of the completed posters are drawn in a cartoon format by the same cartoonist. Posters are available in color or black and white. The reverse side of the color posters contain educational activities: one version for children in grades 3-5 and the other with activities for children in grades 6-8. The black-and-white posters are intended for coloring by children in grades K-2.
