1.+Welcome!

= Want to be a Water Warrior?!? Well look no further! =

2010 is the year of Environmental Sustainability.By the end of the year, Education Queensland hopes to ensure students have developed a greater awareness and understanding of environmental sustainability issues. Educators aim to have ignited a passion in students to become ecowarriors to help reduce their ecological footprint on our environment. By allowing students to investigate environmentally sustainable practices through their classroom studies, it is hoped that they will take their new found skills and knowledge out of the classroom and into the outside world and put them into practice!

One important area of environmental sustainability is water conservation. Water is needed for survival and without water all living lifeforms will slowly die. Therefore, we need to ensure that students are aware of the importance of this great commodity. In our day and age everyone tends to take water for granted. Getting water is as easy as turning on the tap and we rarely think about where the water comes from originally. However with large areas of our country currently in droughts and in desperate need of water, it is time for students to become actively involved in helping conserve this vital life source. Through the pages on this Wiki, students can start to see the importance of water conservation and start the thinking process of what they can do to reduce their water usage so that we can save water for future generations. The pages on this Wiki include: KLA and Curriculum Materials, Online Resources, a Student Place, a Glossary and a comprehensive Reference list. The aim of this learning experience is to equip students with the tools and knowledge to develop their own water saving tips to share with the wider community.

// So what are you waiting for? Start thinking about what you can do at home to become a fellow Water Warrior!!! //
