The Water Education Foundation is well known for its colorful, poster-sized maps that tell the story of our most valuable resource.

The California Water Map features natural and manmade water resources throughout the state, including the wild and scenic rivers system, federally funded projects, state-funded projects, locally funded projects and saline or alkaline lakes. It was given a new look in 2016 and remains our most popular item.

Hot off the press is our newly updated and revised California Groundwater Map.The map displays where groundwater is located in the state using the 2016 groundwater basin map published by the California Department of Water Resources. Colorful graphics provide you with the chance to “see” the layers that comprise an aquifer. 

The Delta Sustainability Map provides an overview of some of the most pressing issues facing California’s Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta - land subsidence, levee stability and flooding, urbanization, fish and wildlife protection, and salinity. Also available for purchase are watershed maps of the Klamath River and the San Joaquin River, and the Colorado River Water Map.  

Suitable for framing, these maps are guaranteed to help you better understand California’s complex water story – and brighten up your office. Start your collection today! Click here to see the Foundation’s map inventory.
