Water Education

Education Programs

Rancho Water has provided education programs for transitional kindergarten through 12th grade since 1984. This non-profit endeavor is designed to educate our children about water and wastewater issues as well as to promote water use efficiency among future leaders.

Rancho Water assists educators in meeting their educational goals by providing literature, curriculum packets, assembly programs, and much more free of charge. The materials offered to educators will help fulfill the requirements for the Science Framework for California Schools.

It is our hope that the Water Education Program will provide you with the necessary resources to assist you in teaching more about our precious resource, water.
