News release: Kings Subbasin stays the course after a normal water year, keeping momentum on implementation across the region
The Kings Subbasin is not hitting the brakes after a near-average Water Year 2024. Building on the momentum of the historic 2023 water year, Kings Subbasin groundwater agencies remain committed to driving long-term sustainability under the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) through local action and coordination. According to the most recent Annual Report, Water Year 2024 (October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024) brought slightly above-average surface water diversions, reaching approximately 108% of the Kings River’s long-term average. Though not as abundant as the year before, 2024 was classified as a near-average year in terms of water availability. This marked a return to more typical conditions after 2023’s wet year.
