Two Kings County water agencies are holding public workshops Nov. 12 and 14 to explain their pumping allocations. The Mid-Kings River and South Fork Kings groundwater sustainability agencies (GSAs) both passed draft sustainable yield pumping allocations for their farmers in October. … But South Fork farmers objected to Mid-Kings’ allocation of 1.43 acre feet per acre of land, which is more than double what was set in South Fork at .66 acre foot per acre of land.
