Groundwater is a major source – if not the only source – of
drinking water for many communities within the vast Central
Valley stretching from San
Joaquin County to Kern County. The region
also relies on water from the State Water Project, Central Valley
Project and other locally financed water projects. In the small
rural foothill communities above the valley floor, many homes are
supplied by individual wells.
*IMPORTANT* In anticipation of high demand, the Foundation will be allocating tickets via a lottery method with a maximum of 3 entrants per organization. Tickets will be released in batches over time. Details coming soon.
This special, first-ever Foundation water tour will only be offered once! Join us on this special journey as we examine water issues along the Kern River, from its mountain-fed headwaters in the southern Sierra Nevada to its terminus in the Central Valley west of Bakersfield. Among the planned stops are both upper forks of the Kern River, Lake Isabella, lower Kern River canyon, the Friant-Kern Canal, irrigated agriculture in the valley, the Kern Water Bank and more.
