Teachers are encouraged to lead their students in discussion regarding local water needs and issues faced by farmers, industry and the general public (municipal water). Students should consider the importance of water in a water scarce region like El Paso, and ideas of how stakeholders can work together to ensure water for future generations.

Students can also research how farmers in other regions adjust their crop choices and watering methods based on their local environment and compare to those here in the El Paso region.

After completing this workshop, students should have a better understanding where water is obtained and used regionally, and the impacts on water supply due to demand and changes in climate. Students will have gained a better sense of tactics and water smart choices local farmers employ for agriculture and how these choices relate to conservation, wastewater management and water policies.
