Document Description
The West Kern Water District is proposing to implement a Groundwater Banking Project (the Project) to aid in the management of West Kern's existing water supplies and develop new reliable water supplies to meet increasing water demands within the district. The Project involves the acquisition of approximately 500 acres of land on the Kern River Fan area and the construction of recharge basins, monitoring wells and water production wells.
