Water is vital to every living thing. Without it, we could not survive. It is our most valuable natural resource. Yet because of its ready availability, it is often the one resource most taken for granted.

Where does our water come from?

How does it get to our homes, schools, and workplaces?

Why can we be sure our water is safe to drink?

What careers exist in the water industry?

The answer to these and other questions are readily available to you through the Cleveland Division of Water's Speakers Bureau. Call the Speakers Bureau at (216) 664-2444, ext. 5676, to arrange for a representative to address your classroom or group on any water-related topic.
