The Kings River plays an important role as the District’s primary source of surface water. 🌊
Water from the river travels through FID canals to deliver supplies to growers and nearby communities. When available, these supplies help reduce reliance on groundwater pumping and support long-term water conditions throughout the region.
Reliable surface water supplies continue to support agriculture, communities, and the local economy. Beyond supporting water supplies, the Kings River also continues to be a valued recreational resource enjoyed by many throughout the Central Valley.
What’s your favorite spot along the Kings River? Let us know below. ⬇️

Since 2021, FID has secured more than $33 million in grant funding.
By combining grant funding with assessments, the District is able to stretch resources further and invest in projects that support landowners, including:
💧 Capturing more water during wet years
🌱 Expanding recharge capacity
💦 Improving water use efficiency
See how these investments are supporting water supply across the District in the 2025 Annual Report: https://pulse.ly/lq2a07zcbl
Water deliveries continue into May 🌊
With deliveries underway, growers are encouraged to take advantage of available surface water supplies. Using surface water helps reduce groundwater pumping, supports aquifer stability, and helps preserve groundwater for use during dry years.
What types of irrigation systems are you using to make the most of available water deliveries?
