Recycled Water, Art, & Poetry Contest
Recycled Water Art & Poetry Contest
WateReuse Conference Theme: Why is Reusing Water Valuable?
Art & Poetry must be related to the theme of recycled water (also known as reclaimed and reuse water). Recycled water is water that has already been used by people, is highly treated, and is then reused for a number of different purposes such as irrigation for plants, parks and athletic fields, decorative fountains, industrial uses, groundwater recharge, and more.
