How can you tell if your groundwater supply is sustainable? 💧 #SGMA outlines six key metrics, such as groundwater levels and water quality, to gauge sustainability. The North Kings GSA has established benchmarks, including measurable objectives and minimum thresholds, to track progress toward achieving sustainability. 🌍 Explore the 6 key consequences that SGMA aims to avoid and foster a sustainable groundwater supply.

Another news feature! 🗞️ Check out the highlight from KSEE24 on the City of Kerman's Lions Park Recharge project! ⬇️ CBS47 and KSEE24

In the News 📰 Our member agency, the City of Kerman, was featured on CBS47 and KSEE24! The spotlight was on the recently completed Lions Park Recharge and Basin Project. The existing storm water basin can now receive excess water from Fresno Irrigation District's Siskiyou canal during wet years—a big step for the City of Kerman toward boosting their groundwater recharge. This type of collaboration is exactly what #SGMA is all about: working together to achieve our sustainability goals. 🌊 #CAWater #GroundwaterRecharge

Rumor has it we have more atmospheric rivers heading our way! 🌧️ While heavy storm events can bring challenges, they also provide a boost to our water supply. Take a look at how last year’s wet months helped improve groundwater levels. 💦📈https://lnkd.in/esA7fBXh

One of our favorite ways to keep you in the loop about what’s happening in our GSA boundary is through the Grower’s Corner. It’s where we shine a light on folks doing amazing things—like the Sweet Potato Project, teaching farming and sustainable irrigation. 🌱🍠 Watch how this incredible program is making a difference here. https://lnkd.in/gqi_utf4

💧 It takes a team effort to protect our shared water source. Groundwater is a vital resource that supports our communities, farms, and ecosystems, but it’s not limitless. Sustainable management is essential to ensure we meet today’s water needs while preserving it for future generations. Together, we can secure a reliable water future! 🌱 #Groundwater #Sustainability

🎉 It’s Official 💧 This morning, our member agency, the City of Kerman, celebrated the completion of the Lions Park Recharge Project with a ribbon-cutting ceremony! This project is a game-changer for sustainable groundwater use, transforming an existing stormwater basin into a recharge facility. Project highlights include: ✔️ Efficient water delivery through a new intertie with Fresno Irrigation District’s Siskiyou Canal ✔️ Ability to track how much water is recharged via a newly installed flow meter ✔️ An estimated 260 acre-feet per year of groundwater recharge A big thank-you to everyone who joined us to mark this milestone and to all who made this project a success.
