• Subject - The Scott #1150 4¢ Water Conservation stamp was issued in conjunction with the 7th Watershed Congress to raise awareness about the importance of preserving and protecting water resources. Its design features a leaf releasing a single drop of water into a tranquil pool, alongside a farm and town nestled beside a water dam — a powerful visual metaphor for the delicate relationship between natural water sources and human consumption.
