Each year, the Kern County Water Agency’s Improvement District No. 4’s (ID4) comprehensive Water Education Program educates thousands of Bakersfield’s students about Kern County’s local and state water supplies, and the importance of water and its conservation. The goal of the program is to provide meaningful learning opportunities that inspire students to have a lifelong appreciation of this precious resource. The program incorporates teacher workshops, grade-level materials, presentations, videos and student contests. All programs meet California Content Standards, including Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards.
All programs are offered free of charge to all public and private schools located within ID4’s service area.
