Official Website

of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

    The .gov means its official.

    Water Education

    Water is as important to life as air. The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources ​values and manages its water resources vigilantly and provides many educational opportunities to our citizens and visitors about water and its role in natural cycles, human impacts to water, and how to protect our water resources.

     

    Whether you want to explore your local stream, measure the turbidity of your state park lake, or learn how a dam works, the department offers hundreds of programs throughout the year focused on water.
