Kings Basin Water Authority
The Kings Basin IRWMP includes a combination of projects to improve the way water is managed for the future. Additional proposals identified in the plan include storm water projects, water banking projects, parkway projects and surface water treatment projects. These projects have been proposed as partnerships between member irrigation districts, cities, counties and environmental organizations.
Since the early 2000s, the Kings Basin Water Authority has received nearly $29 million in state financial support for use toward planning activities and to construct projects that address groundwater, water conservation and efficiency, water quality, riparian habitat, flood corridors, and disadvantaged communities. The projects are located throughout the basin.
The vision of the Authority is a sustainable supply of the Kings River Basin's finite surface and groundwater resources through regional planning that is balanced and beneficial for environmental stewardship, overall quality of life, a sustainable economy and adequate resources for future generations.
