Heroes of Water Conservation

Program Overview

As part of the Kern County Water Agency’s Improvement District No. 4’s (ID4) commitment to water education, kindergarten through 6th grade classrooms that participate in ID4 education programs are asked to join the 3,000-gallon Water Conservation Challenge.  The Heroes of Water Conservation activity encourages students to conserve water at home and at school and track their water savings on a classroom poster.  Once a classroom reaches the goal of 3,000 gallons of water savings, the students are designated Deputies of Water Conservation.  ID4 applauds the following classrooms for their commitment to water education and on reaching their goal!
