"Teaching Southern California's Water Story"

Ever wonder from where your water has traveled when you take your morning shower, brush your teeth and brew a cup of coffee? Enhance your knowledge of one of life's most precious resources - water. Through this self-guided and self-paced experience, you will learn how water has played a major role in the history and development of Southern California.

In addition to identifying sources of water for the region, you will learn how water is transported, stored and treated. This independent study course is ideal for educators because most subjects covered in the class tie directly into the Science and Social Science Frameworks for California Public Schools. Southern California residents who want to learn about the story of water in their area will benefit from this class as well..

Experience a visit to Diamond Valley Lake, the largest reservoir in Southern California. Listen to audio tapes of historic California songs, readings and a recorded interview with someone from a premier water pioneering family. Other relevant water issues such as information on water quality, geography, supply and distribution, and politics are covered in the course materials that include a booklet, audio and video tapes and layperson's guides.
