Sacramento, Calif. – The Water Education
Foundation recently launched a new cutting-edge website that makes it easier for visitors to learn about
water, conduct research, sign up for
email newsletters, securely register for tours and
conferences, and buy California water maps and other popular
products.
“Our new website is extremely user-friendly and easy to
navigate,” said Jennifer Bowles, the Foundation’s executive
director. “It really brings together all of our resources under
one umbrella.”
The California Science Teachers Association recently announced
that Water Education Foundation/California Project WET and Brian
Brown, the program’s coordinator, will receive its
Distinguished Contributors Award.
(AP) — Some overindulged their zucchini patch. Others didn’t
bother with that dripping kitchen sink. But now every Monday
night in this drought-stricken beach town, dozens of residents
who violated their strict rations take a seat at Water School,
hoping to get hundreds of thousands of dollars in distressing
penalties waived.
(CNN) — It’s been a cruel irony for ancient mariners and any
thirsty person who has ever gazed upon a sparkling blue ocean:
Water, water everywhere, and not a drop to drink.
Jennifer Bowles, a former award-winning journalist who covered
Western water issues and became a communications strategist for a
major California law firm known for its water law practice, has
been named as Executive Director of the Water Education
Foundation.
Effective March 27, Bowles will replace longtime Executive
Director Rita Schmidt Sudman, who is retiring after 34 years of
heading the highly regarded nonprofit organization that raises
awareness of water issues in California and the Southwest.
