"Water Wonders" is an interactive stream where people will be able to learn about water, including conservation. It was developed by the North Aurora River District Alliance, and opened in June. The water in it is rainfall captured from the roof of the nearby village hall.

About this Article

There's a new way for kids to cool off this summer, and eventually learn about water and its value to us. The "Water Wonders" stream in North Aurora is up and running. Construction was finished a few weeks ago. Signs explaining the various features, such as a wetland area, though, remain to be installed. There are native plants, and a micro hydroelectric station is planned.
