DRBC Staff Teach About Clean Water at the 15th Annual HydroMania Event

The Lehigh Valley Water Suppliers, Inc., held the 15th HydroMania event on May 14, 2015 at Cedar Crest College in Allentown, Pa. About 1,200 third and fourth graders attend this annual event, which focuses on watershed education and the importance of protecting and preserving our natural resources.

Over the years, DRBC has been a frequent HydroMania exhibitor and was proud to again participate this year, using its Enviroscape model to teach about different sources of water pollution and what we all can do to help keep our waterways clean. The students are easily engaged by the hands-on learning experience that the Enviroscape model provides, and our staff always have fun interacting with our future generation of watershed stewards.

Nearly 18,000 Lehigh Valley students have benefited from the environmental lessons taught at HydroMania over its 15 years. DRBC staff enjoyed taking part in this milestone year and look forward to being involved in future events.
