Kids’ Corner
The Eastern Shore of Virginia Ground Water Committee is raising awareness of the threats to the Shore’s Groundwater. A public educational campaign has been prepared to educate school age children. The campaign was funded by a Wellhead Protection Grant, which was received from the Water Resources Division of the Department of Environmental Quality.The sixth and ninth grade science classes were selected to receive the educational material. They received The JUG: Just Understanding Groundwater kit, a lesson plan, a diagram of the groundwater system and a Chesapeake Bay fact sheet for distribution. Those materials are available below.
