Support Our Mission

Overview April 11, 2014

Support the Water Education Foundation

The Water Education Foundation is the only impartial organization educating people about water issues in California and the Southwest.

We want to be your resource for in-depth, impartial information on drought, water rights, environmental restoration and water quality. Your annual contribution helps us to publish Western Water news, which examines pressing issues in California and along the Colorado River; continue adding terms to Aquapedia, our online water encyclopedia; maintain our daily news update on Aquafornia; publish new titles in our Layperson’s Guide series and update them; develop public television documentaries and educational videos; conduct tours of key water sites in California and the Southwest, and organize special events. Funds from our contributors also support our K-12 school programs, which annually reach more than 200,000 students.
