Groundwater Elevation and Deliveries (1962 – 2017)
Monthly Depth to Groundwater Report
OTHER SUPPLIES
Because the SWP and City of Bakersfield contract supplies are insufficient to supply the District’s demands other sources are routinely acquired. These include: temporary contracts with the Bureau of Reclamation for Friant-Kern floodwaters, Kern River flood flows, spot-market water purchases, beneficial rainfall, and the groundwater basin safe-yield. These supplies make up approximately 44% of the District’s water supply portfolio.
