Texas Schools Find Creative Ways to Teach About Water
LUBBOCK — Christian Cardenas, a fifth grader at Bayless Elementary School, bubbled with excitement last month as he opened a box containing a low-flow shower head and other water-saving devices.
“These are really cool kits!” he exclaimed as he held up a packet of tablets used to detect toilet leaks. He planned to start making his home more water-efficient that evening — perhaps with his father’s help.

Lt. Governor David Dewhurst
I would like to offer a good Idea that will make Texas and all Texians very proud.
I have tried many times to suggest this Idea to you and the Governor ; but the *Chain of Command * does not work or does not care.
So I am Trying again :Water is a serious problem here in Texas: but the Ocean is very close you can touch it ;so: Why not build a * Desalination Plant * that is * separation of salt from water *. This is old Technology from the 30s and 40s and I have seen it at work; today this particular Technology is simple and very efficient.So Why Not ?? After all you have built the *Cirquit of the Americas here in Austin that only the Rich can afford a decent ticket and the normal citizen can`t get close to it or afford it. Why Not ?? A desalination plant on our coast line with a pipeline that can bring water to all Texas , all Texians ,all farmers, all industrial complexes ( at this moment oil co. are using 1 Million Gallons of underground water per oil well ).Lt.Governor it does not take a Genious to figure out how long that underground water table will be depleted. Lt. Governor have you seen Interstate 35?? or the Corridor ??? What a Mess, what a * DISGRACE * that is opening Texas to the Invasion. If you can do that * INVASION * why not do a Desalination plant.???????A reply would be very appreciated, Thank you. Raffaele Cafagna
