The California Water Tour seeks to bring together qualified students and young professionals on a week long exploration of California’s intricate natural and artificial water systems. Participants will visit public, private, research and non-profit institutions in a peer-to-peer dialogue concerning the future of California’s water. University students, recent graduates and young professionals have the technical expertise required to mitigate declining water supplies, but are not exposed to the complex network of public, private and non-profit entities involved in the operation California’s water system. The California Water Tour will provide this invaluable experience in an intensive week long trip to 20-25 qualified young people. The tour is open to currently enrolled college students or graduates who have completed at least 60 units in any major and who are engaged or interested in the sustainability of California’s water system.

Hi Lisa,
As the tour is being organized by 4 current SF State students, on our own time, without pay, we are not personally planning on organizing a 2011 tour. As you may have read on our website, the CA Water Tour is based on the 2009 CA Energy Tour both of these tours emphasize the learn by touring model which we feel is an excellent way for the participants to connect various sectors of one area of interest. The CA Water Tour organizers have developed a guide for putting on a CA [something] Tour with the hope that interested students and young professionals in the future would organize a tour of their own. If you are interested in leading another water tour or tour concerning any other sector of CA’s sustainability future please contact us at [email protected] for more information.
Thanks for your interest. Take care.
Hi I am a student at UCSF studying to be an Adult Nurse Practitioner with a speciality in Occupational and Environmental Health. I am really interested in this tour however it conflicts with graduation. I am specifically interested in pharmaceutical contamination in water systems. Please contact me if you will be doing this tour again in the future! Thank you!
