The McAllen Public Utility continues to invest in an exhibit at International Museum of Art and Science to educate visitors about the importance of water in the Rio Grande Valley. According to IMAS officials, “Water Journey” focuses on water, a vital resource for everyone. It provides a comprehensive understanding of water’s journey, from its origin to the different cleaning stages, distribution, personal consumption, and the necessary actions for its conservation. In this exhibit visitors can actively engage with the experience through activating interactive mechanical elements, reading labels, analyzing their content and later on implementing water conservation tips.
