Water Quality Forum
The Knox County AAW Program has two mutually supporting goals. The first is to assist teachers in bringing real life experience to the curriculum and making the curriculum relevant to the students’ everyday lives. The second is to show students that they truly can make a difference in their community. The AAW Program strives to meet these goals by training and assisting teachers in using the school’s adopted watershed as “a living laboratory” and by providing opportunities for the students to participate in projects that improve the health of the watershed.
Through this partnership HPUD is able to funnel support to many other local water quality initiatives. The Water Quality Forum meets regularly and is comprised of a variety of team members that take the necessary resources, such as funding and programs, to their sphere of influence and thereby effectively communicate the general message of preserving water quality.
