Municipal Water District of Orange County School Program 

One of the most successful and well-recognized water-education curricula in southern California is the Municipal Water District of Orange County's (MWDOC) Water Education School Program. For nearly 40 years, School Program mascot "Ricky the Rambunctious Raindrop" has been educating students in grades K-5 about the water cycle, the importance and value of water, and the personal responsibility we all have as environmental stewards. Since its inception in 1973, the Water Education School Program has evolved into what has become the standard for all water-education curriculum. To date, more than 3 million Orange County students have benefited from the Program. 

Distance Learning Opportunities for Children

San Clemente has partnered with the Municipal Water District of Orange County and Razzle Bam Boom to provide parents and teachers with FREE educational videos featuring lessons on water supply, water use efficiency, public health, and protecting our wastewater collection systems, all relevant and timely during the national pandemic.

The six videos can be viewed here.

Additional distance learning videos on various water-related topics are now available for students in Grades 3- 8 and for High School Science students. Please email SaveWater@san-clemente.org if you are an educator, parent, or other San Clemente water customer who would like access to these FREE educational materials!

Metropolitan Water District’s Education Unit provides water education programs, supplemental materials, teacher in-services and classroom presentations for teachers and students from pre-K through college.

Our curricula and materials teach students about California’s water supply and distribution systems, about water sources, water use, water conservation, and about the importance and responsibility of stewardship.  All of the MWD programs correlate to the California Content Standards for each grade level.

We are very proud of our programs and of our relationships with literally thousands of teachers and students through the years.  It has been our privilege to provide a variety of FREE water education programs within our six-county service area, which include Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, and parts of Ventura.

The MWD Education Unit mission is to continue to produce and distribute quality water-related materials that educate, motivate, engage, and transform students’ behavior toward water.
