ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
A cooperative program with the U.S. Geological Survey of the
U.S.
Department of the Interior, the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, the American Water Resources Association, and the National
Science Teachers Association, has been undertaken to develop Kindergarten
to Grade 12 water resources educational materials for distribution
nationwide. This poster, the second in the series, is designed
to adjoin to the right side of a poster entitled "Water:
The Resource That Gets Used & Used & Used for Everything!" Copies
of the water-use poster can be obtained from:

In addition to the poster series, the program is developing a
set of water-resources educational training packages designed
to be taught by water-resources specialists in the classroom or
at afterschool activities. For more information about this water-resources
educational program, contact the American Water Resources Association

U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
The mission of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)
is to improve and preserve the quality of the environment, nationally
and globally. USEPA works to protect human health and the natural
resources on which all human activity depends. The USEPA Office
of Water is the national leader in the protection of rivers, streams,
lakes, estuaries, wetlands, oceans, underground aquifers, and
all drinking water supplies. The Office defines goals and standards
to achieve pollution controls and protects living resources. Working
with the States and Indian Tribes, the Office of Water fosters
a public conservation and protection ethic, ensures development
and implementation of a system for measuring progress, and obtains
support from other institutions to achieve these goals and standards.
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
As the Nation's principal conservation agency, the U.S. Department
of the Interior has responsibility for most of our nationally owned public lands and
natural resources. This responsibility includes fostering the
wisest use of our land and water resources, protecting our fish
and wildlife, preserving the environmental and cultural values
of our national parks and historical places, and providing for
the enjoyment of life through outdoor recreation. The Department
assesses our energy and mineral resources and works to assure
that their development is in the best interest of all our people.
The Department also has a major responsibility for American Indian
reservation communities and for people who live in Island Territories
under United States administration.
