The California State University’s Water Resources and Policy Initiatives (WRPI) has launched a grant-funded program this fall that gives students hands-on internship experience while helping to solve water problems impacting Southern California.
Funded by a $1.3 million grant from the Department of Water Resources, the Disadvantaged Communities Involvement Program offers Cal State Fullerton and Cal State San Bernardino students a unique educational experience at water agencies within the Santa Ana Watershed, which covers nearly 3,000 square miles of land in Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties.
