Water Conservation Pamphlet, c. 1970s Authored by Marin Municipal Water District Courtesy Marin History Museum Although the drought was a serious topic, some educational materials used humor to address water conservation. Drippy the Water Robber is accused of “commonly posing as a dripping faucet - even the slowest drip will rob you of 20 gallons per day...All kidding aside, water is a valuable natural resource and should not be wasted.”
