Unless you live under a rock, you know that water is a serious subject in Arizona. The availability and quality of our water supply is vital to our quality of life. This precious resource was recognized by Arizona’s Governor in 2008 with an Executive Order that designates April as Water Awareness Month.

In our Arizona HOA communities, we should always be discussing and encouraging awareness of about this precious resource on a local community level.

We have culled this list of free tools for parents, so teaching at home is quick, easy and fun. There’s also some “lead by example” tools for you at the end! Be sure to check those out.

5 Free Activities for Arizona Water Conservation Fun:

• The Arizona Department of Water Resources has a couple free downloads you can print right from home! Download them here.
