Under the Sustainability Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), sustainability is measured using sustainability indicators. These include: groundwater storage, groundwater levels, interconnected surface water, water quality, and land subsidence. The sixth indicator, seawater intrusion, is not applicable to the Central Valley. Learn more about each sustainability indicator through the following graphics https://krcd.org/groundwater-in-the-central-valley/... California Department of Water Resources

Kings River runoff, such as this roaring through Cedar Grove, directly depends upon each year’s Sierra snowpack. #ThrowbackThursday

KRCD joined over 200 agricultural organizations and water districts urging the new administration to address aging Western water infrastructure. Read more below! Family Farm Alliance California Farm Bureau Federation ACWA National Water Resources Association Western Growers

Snow surveys help to determine how much water from the snowpack will melt into surface water later in the year. More surface water means less groundwater pumping! That's why snow surveys are so important to landowners, residents, and groundwater sustainability. The video below follows the Kings River Water Association's Snow Survey, part of the CA Snow Survey Cooperative providing reliable snowpack data statewide! California Department of Water Resources

This month, we'll be sharing some #ThrowbackThursday photos! These photos from 2002 remind us how much fun it is to volunteer with the Kings River Fisheries Management Program! Click here to learn how you can get involved this year: https://krfmp.org/volunteer/

Our #floodcontrol team hasn't skipped a beat! TJ shares how he stays motivated during the pandemic to provide essential services out on the levees. With over 140 miles of levees and channels to maintain, we are grateful for his dedication to keep channels clear so water can flow when and where it needs to. #CAWaterWeek #EssentialWorkers #WeAreCAWater

As coordinator for the group, she brings so much value to the team when it comes to catalyzing tangible water resources solutions! #CAWaterWeek #EssentialWorkers #WeAreCAWater

Engaging stakeholders in local groundwater management efforts is critical to implementing the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act successfully. Rebecca enjoys supporting the region in these efforts to engage and educate the public on groundwater sustainability issues, no matter the communication medium! #SGMA #CAWaterWeek #EssentialWorkers #WeAreCAWater

From the top of the watershed to the end user, stewarding water resources is multi-disciplinary. A healthy lower Kings River habitat and fishery is critical to a vibrant river system, and Lori has stayed resilient working for the fishery below Pine Flat Dam. In addition to providing essential analysis and reporting for the Kings River Fisheries Management Program, Lori has made it a priority to be available to answer any questions the public might have when it comes to fisheries and the environment. We are so grateful to have her on staff to steward our resources well! #CAWaterWeek #EssentialWorkers #WeAreCAWater #fisheries
