Present Land Use: Agricultural, public right-of-way, railroad right-of-way, water recharge

Document Description: To enchance its ability to make returns of banked water via exchange, Kern Delta proposes to expand its agreement with ID4 by a nominal 20,000 acre-feet. The expanded exchange agreement will mean that additional groundwater must be stored in the Kern Island Canal portion of Kern Delta to ensure that Kern Island Canal growers have access to supplies. Kern Delta therefore proposes to reduce groundwater recharge capacity at other sites and increase groundwater recharge capacity in the Kern Island Canal region.
