A sample of (86) students divided as follows 41 third graders at Nasser School in The East Tanta Administration, a first experimental group and 14 third-graders at Tanta Agricultural High School of the West Tanta Educational Department, a second experimental group. The findings of the current research indicates the followings: There are statistically significant differences at the level (< 0.01) between the average scores of the experimental group students (in the pre- test and post-test) in the test of the knowledge of water scarcity, practices of rationalizing its use and the measure towards awareness of water scarcity and rationalization of its use as well as and test the disposition of attitudes related to water awareness. The differences were in favor of the post-test.
