The Public Works\u2019 Stormwater Management Division would like to welcome Arlington students and teachers back for another exciting school year and encourage our local educators to participate in the StormTalker Education Program.<\/p>\n

The StormTalker program is designed to provide students with a basic understanding of stormwater pollution and its effects on water quality, local ecosystems, and flooding. Presentation topics include stormwater pollution and prevention, watersheds and natural floodplain functions, storm drainage systems and local water quality, flood safety and awareness, and native pollinator and aquatic life habitat protection. These programs provide support for TEKS biology and social studies standards with a heavy emphasis on vocabulary and natural ecosystem concepts.\u00a0 The program offers the following presentations which can be adapted for upper grade levels.<\/p>\n


\nKeeper of the Stream \u2013 Pre-K and Kindergarten
