Friant-Kern Canal fix raising flows, hopes of more water infrastructure projects
A major project that will enhance California’s water delivery system is moving along in the form of repairing the Friant-Kern Canal. Friant Water Authority Chief Operating Officer Johnny Amaral spoke with The Sun for Wednesday’s episode Sunrise FM to provide an update on the project, among a variety of other water-related issues. The backstory: Around six years ago, the Friant Water Authority, which operates the Friant-Kern Canal, noticed a major problem throughout a 30-mile stretch between Porterville and Delano.
