Buttonwillow's Water Riches Challenge Dry Season Surplus
In Buttonwillow the water supply comes from two Kern River sources via Buena Vista Water Storage District and Jerry Slough, feeding 246 users in a transitioning agricultural area. The district, formed in 1927, covers about 40 000 acres from Tupman to Highway 466 and relies on gravity for distribution, with wetlands and channels like Main Drain.
