The overview
Water District 10 recently held the Young Artist Art Competition, inviting elementary-aged students from Eanes ISD to create artwork that depicts what water conservation looks like.
Eighteen students were selected to have their artwork displayed as murals on the water storage tank in West Lake Hills.
“Instead of another notice or reminder about conservation, we asked children to show us what water and conservation mean to them,” Carla Ortiz, general manager for Water District 10, said in an email. “Our thought was that when children become interested in where their water comes from and why it needs to be protected, that awareness often reaches their families, neighbors and friends as well and gives an opportunity for conversations to start.”
