Benefit From Isabella Dam Water Use With Care
Kern County Farm Bureau urges balanced use of Isabella Reservoir water to support recreation without harming agriculture. Evaporation from a 30 000 acre foot pool risks 9 000 acre feet yearly, denying farmers in Kern River Delta irrigation. Federal water rights may cover only a small pool. a larger recreation pool requires outside sources and public funding.
