Facts About Texas Water and Simple Steps to Appreciate, Conserve and Protect Our Most Valuable Resource. This booklet is part of the Texas Living Waters Project, and was distributed to elementary school students in the Houston Area.  The basic facts on water and water use make it valuable outside of Texas, and can serve as a spring board for teachers who can ask their students to compare and contrast local water issues to the ones presented in the booklet.  This booklet is currently out of stock, but you can reserve a copy by contacting the Lone Star Chapter Sierra Club, 512-477-1729, or email lonestar.chapter@sierraclub.org.

Their second publication, Facts About Your Water Supply is available in PDF through their website: www.texas.sierraclub.org/press/facts2.asp.  They have it divided into three sections, so you can get the entire booklet, or just the sections that interest you.
