Our Grade One students had an exciting and educational field trip to Potworks Dam!
They learned that the Dam was built in the late 1960s and about droughts that affected Antigua in 1974 and the years 1983 to 1985. They also discovered that water from the Dam is treated at the DELAPS treatment plant before reaching our taps.
Today, the Dam is completely dry and covered with wild plants. One highlight of the visit was seeing a rain gauge up close and learning how it works! How intriguing!
