A Water Festival is an interactive educational learning experience consisting of hands on activities for students to learn the role of surface and groundwater in the water cycle; the importance of water to all life; the interdependence of plants, trees, wildlife, soil and water; the effect of human actions on water and all nature; and that all individuals need to act environmentally responsible.

"Every Drop Counts" is the events theme.

Activities will include:

• Hands-on learning experiences
• Food
• Live entertainment
• T-Shirt Contest
       

The Water Festival is tentatively set for each year, with the location to be announced.

The Lee County Soil & Water Conservation District, partners and volunteers throughout Lee County are planning a Lee County Water Festival, for the 4th grade students of Lee County.
