"Texas Stream Team will give kids the opportunity to participate in an interactive presentation about water pollution by testing water quality themselves. Lucky volunteers will be able to do the actual testing performed by EPA-certified citizen water quality monitors! They will be taught how to perform the tests and set loose to find the polluted water using provided samples. The presenter will wrap things up by explaining possible sources of pollution, potential effects of water quality impairments, and what people can do to protect and preserve Texas' water bodies. Come out and experience this fun and educating experience!"
