One of the most successful
and well-recognized water-education curriculums in
Southern California is the Municipal Water District
of Orange County's (MWDOC) School Education Program.
For more than 30 years, MWDOC teachers, assisted by
mascot "Ricki the Rambunctious Raindrop," have been
educating students in grades K-12 about the water
cycle, the importance and value of water, and the
personal responsibility we all have as environmental
stewards.
Since its inception in
January 1973, the MWDOC School Education Program has
evolved into what has become the standard for all
water-education curriculum. To date nearly 2.5 million
Orange County students have benefited from the Program.
In 2004, MWDOC formed an exciting partnership with
the
Discovery Science Center that has allowed both
organizations to reach more Orange County students
each year and provide them with even greater educational
experiences in the areas of water and science.

seminars available to Orange County students and teachers,
