Get Involved

The Department of Water Resources (DWR) holds events year-round at locations throughout the county. There are numerous opportunities for you to get involved, give back, and learn more about water in our community.

Preregistration is recommended for some events. Look for a link with the event information.

Events and Workshops

DWR provides free educational workshops on a variety of topics such as fixing leaks, building a rain barrel, and water-wise landscaping.

2024 Workshop Calendar

DWR also is happy to offer two large festivals each year, hosted at one of our award-winning facilities. At both festivals, you can take a tour of the facility, play games, make crafts, and enjoy free fairground food! Bring the whole family! Events and workshops information.

Clean up Your Community

Clean water depends on clean waterways and wetlands free of trash and harmful vegetation. DWR partners year-round with various community groups on cleanup initiatives and storm drain stenciling projects. From litter pickup to removing invasive species, do your part while getting out into nature! Read more about cleaning up your community.

In-School Programs

Kids want to make a difference too! Our educational programs travel to you and introduce water resource protection and water science concepts in a fun, hands-on way.

Request a Speaker

Guest speakers are available to present and facilitate discussions on water resources, conservation, and more. DWR also offers a display for open house events, expos, and festivals.

Our staff can bring brochures, do-it-yourself home water audits, children’s materials, and other conservation tools to distribute to participants. We have presentations for all ages and events, including classrooms, community groups, homeowners associations, or realtor associations.

To request a guest speaker or materials, or for more information, please contact us at 678.376.6952 or DWRinfo@gwinnettcounty.com.
