Learning to be WaterWise
The Sugar Land Groundwater Reduction Program sponsors Sugar Land area students in “Learning to be WaterWise” water conservation education program. The Fort Bend Subsidence District has partnered with the Harris-Galveston Subsidence District (HGSD) in the implementation of the “Learning to be WaterWise” water conservation program. The program involves the education of fourth or fifth grade students in the need for water conservation, by providing student and teacher educational materials and a water conservation kit at no cost to the school or student.
