Croatian Students Celebrate International Water Day with Hard Work
07 May 2003
The Srednja skola Prelog students used GLOBE measurements to investigate the quality of water sources such as springs and wells in their community. In this project GLOBE students brought public and private institutions together to reach out to the local community. A local water supply company donated two new hydrological kits. With support of local authorities, the students sent out a public invitation to people in the area, inviting them to join in a celebration on the main square in Prelog.
The whole event was strongly covered by local and national media. Local authorities have asked the GLOBE school to continue these studies every year and promised significant support for their needs.
"This is an excellent example of how GLOBE schools could promote good cooperation within their local community and gain stronger support by offering the projects aimed to fulfill mutual interests," said Diana Garasic, Ministry of Education and Sports of Croatia and GLOBE's Country Coordinator there.
