The Irvine Ranch Water District (IRWD) has a long history of commitment to water education and recognizes the significant impact lifelong learning can have on a community.
Established in 1961 as a California Water District under the provisions of the state of California Water Code, IRWD is an independent special district serving Central Orange County, California. IRWD provides high-quality drinking water, reliable wastewater collection and treatment, ground-breaking recycled water programs, and environmentally sound urban runoff treatment to more than 380,000 residents.

RightScape wants to help you have a water-efficient landscape and save water - we do so by encouraging the use of:
• The Right Plants - Learn how to select a variety of climate appropriate plants suited for your landscape from California native to non-native drought tolerant plants.
• The Right Equipment - Learn about rainwater harvesting and water efficient irrigation components which can aid you in watering your landscape in the most efficient manner.
• The Right Schedule - Implement proper watering practices as the seasons change for different plant types and learn how to build a living soil for a healthy garden.
California has a long history of wildfires but fortunately there are modifications community members can make to their homes and landscape to be more fire resistant. Prepare for wildfires by firescaping – learn the basics on fire-resistant plants and hear from experts from the Irvine Ranch Water District and Orange County Fire Authority.
