The garden club leader and science teacher Nicolas Pitts said the students learned not only about equations and science, but how to create a better environment.
TUCSON, Ariz. — With water levels in Lake Mead and the Colorado River at record lows, a group at Pueblo High School is looking at harnessing the power of rain water. Earlier this month, Pueblo High School's garden club created a rain garden.
The rain garden is a collection of basins located on a piece of land behind the school's stadium. With the help of Arizona Project WET and Watershed Management Group, the team dug basins in the ground and then planted desert plants inside the basins. Then, rain water will collect in the basins to help grow the plants and waste less water.
