Kern River Status Update

Kern Island and Buena Vista Canals have started for delivery of Kern Island Utility. Other canals may start depending on demand and storage capacity.

The regular Kern River Groundwater Sustainability Agency meeting for January has been canceled.

To help visualize the current state of the River, the District is providing this graph that compares flow rates for the two-year periods of 2020-2021, the current period of 2021-2022, as well as other two-year periods in which the first year was below average for the Kern River. The flows for this year are estimates only and subject to revision.

Below is a list of upcoming meetings that may interest our growers. The information presented at these meetings may directly affect agricultural practices and costs.
