Where Does My Water Come From?
When a person opens a spigot to draw a glass of water, he or she may be tapping a source close to home or one hundreds of miles away. This website is intended to help Californians identify their source(s) of drinking water, learn more about how drinking water is treated, and learn how to help prevent pollution of our groundwater and surface water supplies. Students can select the region where they live from a map on the first page of the website. Next, they select their community to find out the specific source of their water: streams, wells, etc. Linked to the regional page are resources about the Water Cycle, how water is treated and distributed, and much more. The more Californians know about the sources of their drinking water, the better informed voters will be on this very important issue.
