Short Description of Activity

A public outreach by Sustainable Water Network to inform the public on water issues in the Phoenix area.

Reflection/Evaluation

It was a fun and social way to learn about how our urban water supply is used and distributed. As an ironic twist,
to the fact that there usually is NO water in the Salt River in the middle of town, we were asked to wear water-related objects like pool floats, goggles, flippers, etc. We did so, but in a second, ironic twist, we had so much rain this winter that there was a substantial amount of water in the river bed. We learned important facts, met some other activists there, and enjoyed ourselves.
