Texas Waters: Exploring Water and Watersheds

With the Texas Waters curricCover of Texas Waters curriculumulum, we want to inform and educate Texans about the most precious natural  resource Texas possesses, its water. Many challenges face our state concerning water, particularly in our aquatic habitats, the water for wildlife.  Texas Parks and Wildlife values the natural and cultural resources of Texas and we want there to always be drinkable, swimmable, and fishable waters in our great State. 

This curriculum will allow Texans to obtain advanced training, become certified as a Texas Waters Specialist, and give back to their community by performing volunteer service in aquatic areas such as:

  • Conservation - establishing rain gardens, updating backyard and community infrastructure, representing water law, or participating in storm drain marking
  • Ecology - improving aquatic ecosystems, bioindicator species monitoring, or aquifer recharge/karst feature flagging and clearing
  • Education - leading aquatic activities at fairs, festivals, events, or field trips for schools, scouts, and general public
  • Stewardship - improving aquatic habitats through invasive species removal and restoration, water quality monitoring, or clean ups
