Texts made in the context of "Environmental Education Project for the Proper Use of Water Resources" for high and medium schools of the Hydrographic Basin “Laguna di Venezia”.
A “Laguna di Venezia” Basin Council’s project realised in collaboration with the Centro Internazionale per la Civiltà dell’Acqua Onlus.


It is aimed to let youngsters discover the different “water worlds” behind its daily use: ANCIENT – the hydrogeological cycle of a limited resource; RARE – pollution and waste threatening its quantity / quality; USEFUL – daily uses between water rights and duties; PURE – sanitation and the SDG n.6; MYSTERIOUS – its anomalous properties according to science; PRECIOUS – an anthropological glance at water “sacredness”
