South Plains Water Conservation is bringing awareness to the benefits of rainwater harvesting during its Rainwater Harvesting Awareness Week. To bring awareness South Plains Water Conservation parked a trailer filled with interactive, educational, and visual representations of water use and function both in the earth and the home. People were able to go inside the trailer and receive a tour, learning about water use in the area. The trailer included a water pump for kids to play with, a rainwater harvesting miniature display that visually demonstrated water tanks filling, a representation of a home with information regarding how much water each room would typically use, and an accurate model of an aquifer. The aquifer model included the correct soil and rock layers within the ground for this area. The model could also simulate rainfall and be filled with actual water.
