CLEAN Education directors and volunteers participated in the annual Orange County Children’s Water Festival, held on April 28th and 29th at the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda. We presented to 4-6th grade classes from all over Westminster, Santa Ana, and Anaheim about Southern California’s water supply, examining the costs, benefits, and trade offs of each source. Students were asked to make decisions about how to supply a Southern California city with water using limited resources, and defend their choices. Then, students were asked how a growing population and changing climate would affect the water supply.
