Aquapedia centers on resource articles supplemented with photos,
videos, interactive maps and other online tools, which provide
background and context to understanding California’s complex
water issues.

public on water issues in California and the West, Aquapedia uses
Foundation publications and other vetted resources to cater to an
online audience.

California water via an alphabetical listing.

and how water issues have evolved
Scroll a directory of federal and state water agencies and
private organizations engaged in water concerns

tours, and other online water resources such as reports, graphics
and videos
Developed and managed by the Water Education Foundation,
Aquapedia aims to provide teachers, students, journalists, water
professionals, policymakers and the general public with balanced
information on major water issues, topics and terms. The focus is
primarily on the Western United States, especially California,
but certain issues and terms apply globally.
Aquapedia topics and articles have been researched and vetted by
the Water Education Foundation. Photos are not necessarily the
