FRESHWATER ACTIONS

![Horizontal line](https://thewaterliteracyproject.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Website/Horizontal%20line.png?width=136&height=3&name=Horizontal%20line.png)

 

 

“How can my community and I take action for freshwater in our everyday lives?”  
Connect everyday choices at home and in the community to freshwater, then turn one practical action into a clear how-to resource others can use.

 

Project Goal:

Develop a how-to pamphlet for an action to help your community protect freshwater.

- ![Seen from behind, a girl in a pink shirt sits in a folding chair, painting a landscape on an easel. Beside her sits an older man. They are outdoors by a lake with green mountains in the background. A small table holds art supplies next to a camping tent under large trees.](https://thewaterliteracyproject.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Website/Action%20Pack/girl-painting-lake-landscape.jpg?width=2120&height=1414&name=girl-painting-lake-landscape.jpg)
- ![A child’s crayon drawing of a sunny day by the water. A large smiling sun shines over green hills with flowers. Three people stand on a yellow shore next to a black car; one is holding a fishing rod over the blue water. White clouds and V-shaped birds fill the blue sky.](https://thewaterliteracyproject.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Website/Action%20Pack/drawing-family-fishing.jpg?width=3198&height=2403&name=drawing-family-fishing.jpg)
- ![A young girl wearing glasses and an apron sits at a table, smiling thoughtfully while painting with watercolors. Her desk is covered in brushes, pencils, and palettes. In the background, a colorful abstract painting rests on a wooden easel in a bright, sunlit studio.](https://thewaterliteracyproject.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Website/Action%20Pack/Young%20girl%20painting.jpg?width=2121&height=1414&name=Young%20girl%20painting.jpg)
