Splash
 Sacramento
Splash is hands-on, science-based
program for Sacramento County students. Splash provides curricula and
assistance for students to explore the diversity of life in our local creeks,
vernal pool, and lakes, in the classroom and in the field. By studying the
organisms that inhabit our local aquatic ecosystems, students gain awareness
of water quality and watershed issues.

Our Stormwater Calendar is produced annually with Pollution
Prevention/Awareness Drawings submitted through Sacramento Bee’s
Design-An-Ad contest. Over 10,000 are printed and distributed throughout
Sacramento County. The 2007 calendar can be downloaded as a PDF
here
(1.8 Mb).
Free ScreenSavers — Screensavers (for
Windows PCs only), featuring calendar artwork and stormwater messages, are
available for free download:
Uncompress the file after saving it to your hard drive, then read the
ReadMe.txt file to install the screensaver to your computer.
Classroom presentations
Sacramento County Stormwater Quality Program promotes water pollution
prevention through classroom presentations for grades 3 through 6 in the
unincorporated areas of Sacramento County. These presentations feature an
interactive stormwater model that represents a neighborhood in any
community. Children learn about how pollutants enter our waterways and how
we can be the solution to stormwater pollution. For more information about
classroom presentations, please call 874-5733.
