City of Lodi Watershed Program
Every year, Lodi students studying the Mokelumne River Watershed have the opportunity to share what they’ve learned with the community in the Mokelumne Current. The annual newspaper features articles, interviews, photos, artwork, creative writing, poetry, games and more, all created by local students.
The focus of each issue centers on water pollution prevention, as rainwater flows untreated from our streets and landscapes into local waterways, highlighting the importance of our permit requirements to safeguard these vital resources.
Thanks to the Lodi News Sentinel and GOT Kids Foundation, for making this newspaper project possible.
Thanks also to the many funders who support the year-round City of Lodi Watershed Education Program.
