Introduction<br />
For more than 30 years, MWDOC's Public Information and <strong>Water</strong> Education programs<br />
have reached thousands <strong>of</strong> consumers and nearly 90,000 <strong>Orange</strong> <strong>County</strong> students<br />
annually. The programs are performed on behalf <strong>of</strong>, and in coordination with, MWDOC’s<br />
member agencies and are designed to facilitate a student’s understanding <strong>of</strong> current water<br />
issues, as well as the challenges, opportunities, and costs involved in securing a reliable<br />
supply <strong>of</strong> high quality water.<br />
In 2004, MWDOC formed a partnership with the Discovery Science Center to bring the<br />
School Education Program to even more students and provide them with even greater<br />
educational experiences in the areas <strong>of</strong> water and science.<br />
