Your Water Facts Toolkit

The Green Associations Water Conservation Council has prepared this fact-filled toolkit to help with your grassroots community outreach and education as well as your messaging and relationship development with elected officials, the public and the media.

The information provided in this kit is intended as a quick reference for everything from water use to drought, and from the environmental and economic benefits of landscaping to the national economic impact of the green industry.

There will be times when you need to focus specifically on local water use issues, economic impact and drought conditions as they relate directly to your community. For that information, you’ll need to consult your local water board, state department of environment, state department
of natural resources and other government and not-for-profit organizations to build your portfolio of relevant information.

Should you need more detailed information, contact your respective association or refer to the sources listed throughout this guide.

Here’s what your toolkit includes:
