Water safety is a particularly important part of the Public Affairs Office's program. It encourages the public to practice safe behavior while visiting State Water Project facilities such as aqueducts and reservoirs. The Department's concern is to minimize the number of accidents and drownings along the SWP.

The program includes SWP safety training and materials for use by the Department's field divisions in their outreach efforts with communities along the Project.

Water safety presentations are made to schools, service clubs, ethnic groups, and church groups.

One example of ways to dramatize this safety message to young people is through the creation of cartoon characters which appear in printed materials.

To learn more about the training and educational material that is available, visit the Water Safety web site.
