It's a bird...It's a crane...It's Sonja Thiede flying the drone above the river collecting valuable data for our team! "Working in GIS for KRCD lets me see and experience the full spectrum of water in valley – from crops to fish, to the land, animals, and people – it all affects and is affected by water. Collecting data and making maps at KRCD lets me visit all parts of the valley. I love getting to see the Kings River and the part it plays the valley’s ecosystem."

Charlotte Gallock, Director of Water Resources and Chief Engineer shares her view on the responsibility of professionals working in water. "Water is the quiet force behind everything we value: the food on our tables, the health of our communities and the rivers that shape our land. It can sustain a valley and reshape it overnight. Water professionals carry the responsibility of managing this force wisely. Thank you to all the Water Professionals in the industry."

💡What does working at the Jeff L. Taylor Pine Flat Power Plant mean to you?

Working at the Jeff L. Taylor Power Plant to me means being part of a team that quietly powers everyday life. Knowing that our daily work directly keeps water flowing to homes and businesses and our local community thriving gives me a deep sense of purpose.

National Hydropower "Day" continues! Today we hear from Tim Green, Senior Electrician at the Jeff L. Taylor Pine Flat Power Plant.

💡What does working at the Jeff L. Taylor Pine Flat Power Plant mean to you?

For 30 years I have maintained equipment at the Power Plant to make sure our operators have an accurate measure of the water we are discharging into the Kings River. This is part of the hands-on work I like and have the opportunity to do here. I am able to see what I am a part of when I see the river and canals with water that has passed through the plant. I strive to maintain a high level of plant readiness to supply accurate water deliveries and electrical power to the Central Valley areas we serve.

National Hydropower "Day" continues! Today we hear from Steve Filbeck, Senior Electrician at the Jeff L. Taylor Pine Flat Power Plant.

💡What does working at the Jeff L. Taylor Pine Flat Power Plant mean to you?

I take great pride in working at the Jeff L. Taylor Pine Flat Power Plant by providing a stable clean energy production without producing greenhouse emissions. The Jeff L. Taylor Pine Flat Power Plant has been producing a reliable source of emissions free renewable energy production for over 40 years.

💡In your own words, why is hydropower so important?

Hydro-electric energy production provides a stable source of energy unlike solar power and wind generation which rely on the sunlight and wind to produce electricity. The water source that produces hydropower can be utilized by several different hydro-plants within the same watershed.

National Hydropower "Day" continues! Today we are featuring Chris Alcorn, Electrical-Mechanical Technician at the Jeff L. Taylor Pine Flat Power Plant.

💡What does working at the Jeff L. Taylor Pine Flat Power Plant mean to you?

For me, working at the Pine Flat Power Plant is about protecting the future of our community and our environment. Generating clean and reliable energy is a source of self-satisfaction. I take great pride in knowing that the energy we harvest right here in the Kings River basin is used by CA Department of Water Resources to power the State Water Project.

💡In your own words, why is hydropower so important?

Hydropower provides immediate, reliable energy that takes only minutes to deploy onto the grid. Driven by natural rain and snowfall, this renewable resource serves as a natural fuel source, generating clean electricity day and night. All while producing zero emissions and providing flood control to the surrounding communities.
