The Children's Groundwater
Festival, first organized by the Groundwater Foundation 19 years ago, is
celebrated every year in Nebraska, a state of the central United States in the
Great Plains. After organizing the festival for 16 years, the foundation passed
the program on to the local community of Grand Island, Nebraska. The festival
is an annual event for fourth and fifth graders of Nebraska. It is an
interesting and energetic day filled with handson education. Water magic, folk
singers and musicians, storytellers, and bird shows add to the happy atmosphere
during the festival. There are also some educational activities:
Gooey Garbage: Children build a landfill (废物填埋场) and learn how a properlybuilt landfill can protect groundwater.
Water Races: Children learn about water
pollution by racing a drop of water through a model.
Well in a Cup: By building a small aquifer
(蓄水层) in a cup, children learn about aquifers and drinking water
wells.
Taster's Choice: Children drink different
types of water, from tap water to bottled water. Then they are taught about the
treatment process of each type of water.
There's No New Water: Students are taught
to make a special glass container and learn about the water cycle.
The Children's Groundwater Festival not
only has a great influence on Nebraska's people. So far, similar festivals have
been held in nearly 40 American states, Mexico City, several provinces in Canada,
and New Delhi, India. People everywhere are realizing the importance of
educating young people to learn and care about groundwater.
