Fighting Fatbergs and the Best Laid Plans

By Tim Moran, Client Alchemist

I practiced. I wrote a script. I practiced again. Yet I failed to complete the “fatberg” slime activity with my first group of kiddos at Water Palooza, who were then rushed to the next activity with sticky slime clinging to their fingers. That’s the thing about even the best laid plans — they can still go sideways.

Rogue Water has developed education materials that help water agencies think outside of the box when it comes to public outreach. Especially in a time of increasing drought, changing state mandates and an uncertain water future, they bring a new perspective to encourage the water industry to be more proactive in their engagement, while providing the tools and training they need to succeed.

Tia Lebherz, California Water Efficiency Partnership

I've heard quite a few times that storytelling is important and have learned the key elements to have and such but the H2duO did a great job of actually getting into the details needed to understand how to utilize this in our work. A big light bulb went off when they said that the main character is your intended audience and that we were the guide- that changed everything!
 
I really enjoyed all of the information and presentations in this module. Definitely bring back the H2duO! I also enjoyed the pre-session readings/podcasts.
