Water Education Program. Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, 1993. During the unit, students identify the sources of water that supply Southern California, and they learn about the steps and processes in a water distribution system. They discuss issues such as overdraft, cost, supply and demand, and water quality, and they identify possible ways to meet future water needs.
Students also complete a home water investigation and assess ways they can be wise with water.
Students work through the lessons using a 15-page student book. The complete unit, which is packaged in a cardboard box, includes the teacher's guide, a videotape in Spanish and English, a poster about water in California, multiple copies of the student booklet, pre- and postunit tests, and other related materials.
