Welcome to the new Aquafornia / Water Education Foundation blogsite!
Posted by: Aqua Blog Maven on November 5, 2008 at 6:00 amI am proud to announce that Aquafornia is now affiliated with the Water Education Foundation. This partnership was formed because both Aquafornia and the Foundation strive for balanced, factual and comprehensive news and information about vital water issues. And like Aquafornia, the Foundation does not pick sides.
I have great respect for this nonprofit organization’s mission, which is to create a better understanding of water issues and help resolve water resource problems through educational programs. To accomplish this, the Foundation offers a variety of printed publications, seminars and water tours of interest to both water professionals and the general public, as well as programs for educators and students. I hope you will take the time to familiarize yourself with all the Foundation has to offer at their website: www.watereducation.org.
Together Aquafornia and the Foundation offer a combination of the same great comprehensive water news coverage from around the state along with the in-depth and impartial analysis available from the Foundation. And coming soon in the next few weeks, you’ll have your chance to have a say on water issues in our upcoming discussion forum!
I’m excited about this partnership, and look forward to Aquafornia becoming your #1 source for California water news, education and information.
Warmest regards,
–Aqua Blog Maven

Congratulations Aqua Blog Maven! This is exciting.
For myself, I feel quite smart for having already chosen Aquafornia as “my” source of California water news!
Looking forward to your expanded functions!
Thank you, Steven!
I am looking forward to it myself.

Hey, Chris.
Great news – congratulations! You have a great blog and WEF is a very good outfit. Awesome combination!
Not to pile on here, but yes, this seems like a great affiliation. There is so much noise, and so much heat, and so little light when we Californians start to argue about water. Best of luck, and thanks for what you’ve been doing.
Thank you, Michael and Philip for your kind comments and your continued support!
Yes, I think this is going to be a great combo, and I’m looking forward to implementing the discussion forum to see how that goes.
There’s even more in the works, much to look forward to …
Regards,
Aqua Blog Maven (aka Chris)
Good job, ABM!
I didn’t get elected to our local water board this time, but I’ll still keeping reading this site. Good information here.
