Water Awareness EventsMay is officially designated as Water Awareness Month to highlight the importance of California's water resources to the human health, economic vitality and environmental quality of our state. Water conservation education is especially important with California's fluctuating water conditions and increasing water supply needs statewide. Each spring all students in Yolo County are encouraged to participate in a Student Art Contest illustrating a water awareness theme. The contest helps teachers educate students about the need to use water carefully and its importance in our every day life. The Water Awareness Committee of Yolo County receives hundreds of original artwork entries for judging each year. The winning contestants receive individual prizes, as well as special recognition of their artwork displayed on the annual Yolo County Water Awareness Calendar. For over 15 years, the calendar has been completely dependent on contributions from local sponsors and is distributed throughout Yolo County to 3,000 students, teachers, businesses, local agencies and others. 2012 Water Awareness CalendarsThe 2012 calendar is now available at the following locations featuring the 2011 contest winners.
