Panhandle Groundwater Conservation District (PGCD) participated in Regeneration 2012 at Thompson Park in Amarillo on Saturday, April 21, 2012. The event was sponsored by Xcel Energy and Amarillo National Bank, and was one event among many held throughout the city to celebrate Earth Day.
PGCD helped people take the Water Warrior Pledge which is to commit to five tasks of water conservation such as adjusting your sprinklers so they do not water the sidewalks and streets which can save up to 500 gallons of water per month or repairing leaky faucets which can save up to 150 gallons of water per month. PGCD Public Relations Coordinator Joy Shadid was also there in her Alice and Waterland costume showing kids the life size model of the aquifer.
