Shaped by Water Exhibition wins Silicon Valley Water Conservation Award
The Silicon Valley Water Conservation Awards Coalition was formed five years ago to address the difficulties we face in maintaining an adequate water supply while protecting natural ecosystems.
The Shaped by Water Exhibition was recently recognized for its significant role in educating the public in a fun and engaging manner about the importance of conserving water.
Since the exhibit opened at the Los Altos History Museum in 2011, it traveled to the Los Gatos History Museum and is currently showing at History San Jose in Kelley Park through Sept. 8, 2013.
The Silicon Valley Water Conservation Awards Coalition was formed five years ago to address the difficulties we face in maintaining an adequate water supply while protecting natural ecosystems; a problem that will become even more challenging in the era of climate change and population growth.
