My Job Depends on Water: Farming in the SGMA Era

Kaweah Subbasin Grower Event Highlight

Kaweah Subbasin Grower Event

The Kaweah Subbasin – East Kaweah, Mid-Kaweah, and Greater Kaweah Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs) – held a grower event focused on surface water supply updates, irrigation practices, groundwater management, and grant funding opportunities. Sponsors and vendors across the Central Valley helped make the event happen. The subbasin-wide event demonstrated coordination among the three Kaweah Subbasin GSAs, and a commitment to progress together toward groundwater sustainability. 

  Nearly 350 attendees heard presentations from:

  • Jason Phillips, Friant Water Authority CEO   
  • Michael Hagman, Aaron Fukuda, and Mark Larsen, the Kaweah Subbasin GSA  leaders 
  • Kait Palys, INTERA Water Resources Scientist and Hydrogeologist 
  • Joel Kimmelshue, Land IQ Owner/Principal Soil & Agricultural      Scientist  
  • Craig Hornung, Technical Services at AC-Foods and Owner of Hornung Brothers Farming  
  • Amber Butland, Community Education Specialist at UCCE Fresno 
  • Lurana  Strong, District Conservationist with USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service  

Each of our dynamic speakers presented on valuable and practical topics including the Friant Division of the Central Valley Project, Land IQ , Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), irrigation practices, and GSA updates. A recap video and speaker presentation videos will be available soon. You can download event materials such as the presentation slides, event agenda, and speaker bios below.
