K’yawak’a hon’ A:ho’i - Water is Life: A Water Conservation Partnership 

Human Impact Partners' Powerful Partnerships for Healthy Communities Video Series
In the midst of a 20-year drought, the Zuni Youth Enrichment Project worked with the Zuni Utility Department to implement a residential rebate program for harvesting rainwater that can be used for home gardens and other domestic activities. The program supported water conservation and food sovereignty efforts on the pueblo, which is experiencing drought and hunger emergencies exacerbated by COVID‐related closures and shutdowns. The Zuni Public School District is now working on a project that will expand their existing rain harvest program for school‐based agriculture production, with the longer term goal of becoming a water hub: an accessible, central place for community members to receive reclaimed water.
