Water
Water is an essential element for all life. Whether you live beachside or on a lake in a homeowner association, water is crucial to maintaining a high quality of life. This program will teach you about managing your stormwater pond (or lake), reducing the amount of water you use to irrigate your lawn (Florida-Friendly Landscaping), and how to save water in your home.
