SJV water districts get $800,000 in federal grants to save water
Two agencies in the San Joaquin Valley are closer to funding water conservation projects thanks to an $800,000 grant from the Bureau of Reclamation. The money comes from the Bureau’s Agricultural Water and Conservation Efficiency grants. About $362,000 will go to the Corcoran Irrigation District in Kings County and $430,000 will go to the Lost Hills Water District in Kern County. The money will partially fund projects aimed at water savings and streamlining water transportation and storage. The rest of the funding will come from local contributions.
