Public Outreach

One of the main goals at the State Water Resources Control Board is to reach out and educate the general public about water quality issues, and water pollution prevention. On the following links, you will find valuable information, tools and activities designed to reach out to municipalities, service clubs, civic organizations, watershed groups, youths and other members of the general public. It is through such outreach that we hope to actively engage the general public in our collective efforts to change public behaviors and protect our surface and ground water from pollution sources.
