4-H Youth and Family Water Quality Education Project

Water is a limiting resource and is of primary importance for all aspects of life. Many people take their drinking water and natural water resources for granted. Maintaining a high quality of life, in part, means having adequate, clean water for personal use and in the environment. Therefore, teaching people how to protect and conserve their water resources is a major goal of many local, state and national organizations and agencies.

For this purpose, the Virginia office of the Natural Resource and Conservation Service (NRCS) has dedicated a cargo van to the Virginia 4-H Program that will serve as a traveling, water resource, education vehicle. The van is designed to operate as a stand-alone, interactive, educational exhibit that can be used at any public event or gathering. Through a memorandum of understanding, the van will be housed and operated at Virginia's six 4-H Educational Centers on a rotating basis. It will be available for off-Center use through arrangements made with local 4-H Extension Agents and the 4-H Centers.
