BROWNFIELD, TX (May 12, 2020) - Picturing water conservation can be a tricky task, but not for Terry County fourth and fifth graders who recently competed in the South Plains Underground Water Conservation District's calendar artwork contest. Even in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, approximately 350 students from Brownfield Oak Grove Elementary, Meadow Burleson Elementary, and Wellman-Union Elementary heard a presentation on the value of water in our lives, tips for conserving water indoors and outdoors, and other facts about local water resources.
