Water Word of the Week: Ever wonder who some of the water project features are named after? Aquafornia’s Water Word of the Week from sister site Aquapedia is Arthur D. Edmonston, who the A.D. Edmonston Pumping Plant is named for, and whose bio is included in the Historical Water People section of the Water Education Foundation’s free online water encyclopedia. To learn more, read the post, “Arthur D. Edmonston: Aquafornia Water Word of the Week.”
