About Us

The Water Association of Kern County was organized in 1955 to keep the public well informed on activities in the field of water problems and on the continuing need for water as the basis of full development of Kern County and California.

Since that time, the Association has carried forward a continuing program of public education-playing a major role in maintaining and expanding public awareness of water problems and the solutions proposed to solve them.

The mission of the Water Association of Kern County is to provide up-to-date and understandable information regarding all aspects of water, from its development, use, and availability. We all depend on water for health, recreation, power generation, and irrigation for our many agricultural crops. It is important to understand how we get water, manage it, bank it, and conserve it.
