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 />
