Ongoing education and inspiration to teach people
where their tap water comes from
In the summer of 2022, Nina walked more than 240 miles, tracing the Mokelumne River from her house in Oakland to the headwaters of where her drinking water comes from in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. She and her team are now working on making an education film about her journey and corresponding curriculum to bring into Bay Area and Lodi schools to teach students where their water comes from.

💧To help people understand where their water comes from
💧To bridge the gaps between urban residents, farmers in the Sacramento Delta region, plants and animals of the up-river ecology areas, and more

She needs your support to make an educational film and curriculum about her journey to bring into schools.
It is imperative that the next generation learns to be water protectors, and that starts with learning where their water comes from.

Do you know where your water comes from?
I didn’t... until I was 26 years old
and I asked that question and then researched it myself.
The answer for me and other East Bay residents is:
The Mokelumne River
Home2Headwaters is a water walk from Oakland to the headwaters of the Mokelumne River - the river where East Bay Municipal Utility District sources drinking water for 1.4 million people in the eastern part of the San Francisco Bay Area. The walk was documented and will be made into a short film that will be brought into Bay Area schools - as well as local public viewings - to teach people where their drinking water comes from.
