Heroes of Water Conservation

Program Overview

As part of the Kern County Water Agency’s Improvement District No. 4 (ID4) commitment to promoting water conservation and water education, we invite kindergarten through 8th-grade classrooms to participate in our educational programs. Each participating classroom can become part of our esteemed Heroes of Water Conservation initiative. Once students have completed their grade-level water education units, we encourage teachers to register their classrooms as Heroes of Water Conservation officially. This recognition not only celebrates the students’ efforts to promote water-saving practices but also helps instill a lasting awareness of their water resources.
