Waterwise Community Center

Waterwise Community Center We are a public agency whose goal is the protection of the Chino Groundwater Basin. We look forward to seeing you!

The District’s commitment to conservation is two-pronged:

--Provide water conservation education to diminish demands on the area’s water supply: The District’s educational approach addresses individuals, school districts, organizations, and municipalities within its service area. The District’s Water Conservation Center is a unique resource for the area with dedicated classroom space and a Demons

tration Garden with real-life examples of Water Wise Landscaping best practices.

--Utilize percolation basins and spreading grounds to increase the area’s water supply: The use of percolation basins and spreading grounds to replenish the Chino Basin Aquifer has made the District one of the first agencies in California to take a pro-active role in region-wide water conservation. The District provides many resources to help you on your own conservation journey. You will find them outlined in these pages here and you can also come visit us at our Water Conservation Center and Water Wise Demonstration Garden to learn more about how you can conserve water.

We'd like to thank all of the families that attended our Water Wednesdays program in June & July! You braved the summer heat to have fun at the Waterwise Community Center and we're already looking forward to next year. We'd also like to thank our friends of I.E. Waterkeeper for being our first guests and bringing the plants and popsicles that our community enjoyed!

Swipe through to see some of the crafts and activities that made our summer shine. We crafted and decorated our own instruments and rainsticks, drew with chalk, planted seedlings, made some sun prints, and of course read many bilingual stories about the natural world we live in!

Please join us again next summer!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

¡Queremos agradecer a todas las familias que asistieron a nuestro programa "Water Wednesdays" durante los meses de junio y julio! Desafiaron el calor del verano para divertirse en el Waterwise Community Center, y ya estamos esperando con ilusión la edición del próximo año. También queremos dar las gracias a nuestros amigos de I.E. Waterkeeper por ser nuestros primeros invitados y por traer las plantas y los helados que tanto disfrutó nuestra comunidad.

Desliza las imágenes para ver algunas de las manualidades y actividades que hicieron brillar nuestro verano. Fabricamos y decoramos nuestros propios instrumentos y palos de lluvia, dibujamos con tiza, plantamos brotes, creamos impresiones solares y, por supuesto, ¡leímos muchas historias bilingües sobre el mundo natural que nos rodea!

¡Esperamos que nos acompañen de nuevo el próximo verano!

Through July and August, the Chino Basin Water Conservation District hosted the Community Water Academy, a free educational program designed to teach members of our community all about our local water supply.

This program was hosted at the Waterwise Community Center in Montclair and was divided into 3 sessions. In the first 2 sessions, we dove into topics such as California's statewide water system, water storage in our local aquifer, and where water goes after it leaves your home.

For the last session, our attendees got a behind-the-scenes tour of our groundwater recharge basins to see how we are able to recharge the supply of groundwater, which accounts for approximately HALF of the water we consume in our everyday lives.

Thank you to all who attended the Community Water Academy and stay tuned to see when we host the next one!
