Each year, fourth graders in the Mountains learn about groundwater, percolation, and permeable surfaces with Arizona Project WET. Precipitation that falls onto impermeable surfaces like asphalt or concrete enters our storm drains, which feed back into our surface waterways. Stormwater is not treated, so pollutants like litter, pet waste, motor oil, and more have the potential to enter our waterways if we aren't mindful about how we use and dispose of t#watertipsrtips![]()

Ask your fourth grader to name a permeable surface and an impermeable surface. Can you name one of each in the comments?

Each year, Arizona Project WET teaches White Mountains fourth graders what a watershed is. A watershed is a land area where water flows to a common low point—like a stream, river, lake, or ocean. 💧![]()

No matter where you live, you’re part of one. Show Low, Pinetop-Lakeside, Heber-Overgaard, and other communities in the White Mountains region north of the Mogollon Rim are located in the Little Colorado watershed. Every drop of rain that falls around you eventually moves through this system, connecting the land, water, and environment around you.![]()
![]()
That connection also ties into how we use water every day. The average Arizonan uses 100–120 gallons of water daily—from cooking and cleaning to bathing and landscaping. It all adds up quickly.![]()

Being mindful of how much water we use is an important step toward conservation and long-term sustainability. #watertips![]()
