Army Corps of Engineers declares low-level flood release at Pine Flat Dam

North Fork Kings GSA encourages growers to contact their surface water district and take water.

The Army Corps of Engineers recently declared a low-level flood release at Pine Flat Dam to begin Saturday, May 4. This low-level flood release will allow Kings River service agencies to receive additional surface water for deliveries. The North Fork Kings GSA encourages landowners to contact their surface water provider to receive this additional water for irrigation and recharge. Landowners who take water for groundwater recharge will receive future groundwater extraction credits from the North Fork Kings GSA. Learn more about receiving credits for groundwater recharge here.

Landowners are urged to act now while flood release water is available.
