These agencies manage a complex water supply system, a large portfolio of local and imported water sources, access to flood waters throughout the State, local managed aquifer recharge projects, and numerous large groundwater banking projects, collectively providing both local and State-wide water supply and water quality benefits. To comply with the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), local agencies are currently organized into seventeen (17) Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs). These GSAs coordinated to produce six amended Groundwater Sustainability Plans (GSPs) covering the entire Subbasin that were submitted to the Department of Water Resources (DWR) in July 2022. The amended GSPs were submitted in response to a DWR Letter of Determination in January 2022 that identified deficiencies in the original GSPs submitted in January 2020. Since the submittal of the 2020 GSPs, all of the Subbasin GSAs have coordinated to produce a single comprehensive Annual Report that covers the entire Kern County Subbasin. This Fourth Annual Report demonstrates the collective GSP implementation by all 17 GSAs. Figure 1 shows the Kern County Subbasin and adjacent subbasins. Figures 2 and 3 show the current 17 Subbasin GSAs and the areas covered by the six GSPs submitted in July 2022, respectively. This Fourth Annual Report covers Water Year (WY) 2022, from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022, as the reporting period. The purpose of the Annual Report is to provide the required data and analyses to demonstrate that the Kern County Subbasin GSPs are being implemented in a manner that will achieve the sustainability goals that have been developed for the Subbasin and individual GSPs. Approach In support of this WY 2022 Annual Report, over 40 agencies have contributed data and information (listed in Table 1). Data have been combined and analyzed for use in hydrographs, water level contour maps, and an update of the local C2VSimFG-Kern model. In particular, the C2VSimFG-Kern model provides a technically credible tool to analyze groundwater extractions and changes in groundwater in storage on a basin -wide basis. Various model results are presented from WY 1995 through WY 2022, incorporating the historical period for the GSP water budgets (WY 1995 through WY 2015) and the updated analyses through WY 2022; water year types for that 28-year period are presented on Figure 6. Data templates provided by DWR are employed for consistent reporting of information and data. A narrative progress report on GSP implementation has also been provided by the GSAs and member agencies; those reports are compiled in Section 7. In addition to the implementation of the individual GSPs, GSAs and member agencies are also coordinating on a collective effort to accomplish GSP implementation activities on a Subbasin-wide basis, including those documented in the Kern County Subbasin Coordination Agreement. These efforts, led by the Basin Coordination Committee (BCC), are also summarized in Section 7. WY 2022 Annual Report Kern County Subbasin ES-1 TODD GROUNDWATER The data compilation process for this Fourth Annual Report was coordinated with newly developed data -entry templates for water supply and use data developed using the Kern County Subbasin Data Management System (DMS). The project has been funded by a DWR grant under Round 3 of the Sustainable Groundwater Management (SGM) Grant Program (Proposition 68). Subbasin GSAs coordinated and funded the successful grant application. The Kern County Subbasin GSAs are collectively committed to successful GSP implementation and attainment of Subbasin Sustainability Goals. Substantial compliance with the Annual Report requirements is demonstrated throughout this report, and additional data are currently being collected to address data gaps. Groundwater Elevations Groundwater elevations were compiled from wells in the GSP representative monitoring network for the preparation of hydrographs across the Subbasin (Figure 5). Available data, including sustainable management criteria, are presented on 198 well hydrographs, compiled in Appendix A. The hydrographs are developed within the Subbasin DIMS so that the most complete and current groundwater elevations, ground surface elevation, minimum threshold (MT) and measurable objective (MO) are shown on the hydrographs. A public version of the DMS, including the hydrographs from the GSP representative monitoring network, is accessible to Subbasin GSAs and the public through the KGA website. Data from the SGMA monitoring network were combined with supplemental water level data from the Kern Fan Monitoring Committee and other local monitoring efforts by Kern County Water Agency (KCWA) to prepare groundwater elevation contour maps. Specifically, KCWA developed water level contour maps for Fall 2021 and Spring 2022 for the Primary Principal Aquifer in the Subbasin (Figures 7 and 8). Three additional Principal Aquifers have been identified in four localized areas within the Subbasin as shown on Figure 9. Groundwater elevation contour maps for Fall 2021 and Spring 2021 are provided for the Olcese Sand Principal Aquifer on Figures 10 and 11, respectively. Groundwater elevations were posted during Fall 2021 and Spring 2022 for the Santa Margarita Principal Aquifer (Figure 12). Data were not available for the Upper Aquifer in the north -central portion of the Subbasin during this reporting period. However, the three local Principal Aquifers are represented in the C2VSimFG-Kern local model and grouped together with the Primary Principal Aquifer in the groundwater extraction data and the change in groundwater in storage analyses. The Subbasin GSPs define any water bearing zone within the areal extent and depth interval of an oilfield aquifer exemption as being located outside of the Kern County Subbasin and are, therefore, not included within any of the Principal Aquifers. WY 2022 Annual Report Kern County Subbasin ES-2 TODD GROUNDWATER Groundwater Extractions Groundwater extraction data for the Kern County Subbasin were compiled using two methods: • Directly measured groundwater extraction data collected by local water agencies. • Estimated groundwater extractions based on land use methods using the IWFM Demand Calculator (IDC) tool developed by DWR (Dogrul, Kadir and Brush, 2017), which is dynamically linked to the C2VSimFG-Kern groundwater model. IDC employs user -specified evapotranspiration (ET) data that are based on monthly satellite data processed by the Irrigation Training & Research Center (ITRC) at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (Howes, 2023). Surface water supplies are incorporated based on measured data and regional precipitation (PRISM); using these collective data sets, IDC calculates the groundwater extraction necessary to meet the crop demand. Urban demands in C2VSimFG-Kern are based on agency - supplied extraction data and/or population and per -capita water demand. Table ES-1 summarizes the Kern County Subbasin groundwater extractions by water use type and measurement method for WY 2022. Additional details on water use types and groundwater extractions are provided in Section 3. Figure 13 shows the areal distribution of total groundwater extraction volumes over the Subbasin during WY 2022. Figure 17 graphically presents historical groundwater extractions from WY 1995 through WY 2022. Table ES-1. Groundwater Extractions in the Kern County Subbasin for Water Year 2022 WY 2022 Annual Report Kern County Subbasin ES-3 TODD GROUNDWATER Surface Water Supply For the Kern County Subbasin, surface water supplies are measured directly by local water agencies at the point of diversion from a river, stream or canal using measurement devices and monitoring protocols. Surface water data were collected by measurement devices with a high level of accuracy consistent with relevant standards. Measured surface water data were provided by local agricultural districts, urban water purveyors and city water departments for this Annual Report (see Table 1). These surface water supplies are tabulated in Table ES-2 below. Additional details on surface water supplies are provided in Section 4. A map showing surface water supply infrastructure and features in the Subbasin is provided on Figure 14. Table ES-2. Surface Water Supplies in the Kern County Subbasin for Water Year 2022 Total Water Use Based on data and tables in preceding sections, the total water use in the Subbasin is provided by Water Source Type and Water Use Sector on Tables ES-3 and ES-4. Additional details on the tabulation of Total Water Supply and Use are provided in Section S. Table ES-3. Total Water Use by Source Type, Kern County Subbasin, Water Year 2022 WY 2022 Annual Report Kern County Subbasin ES-4 TODD GROUNDWATER Section 5 provides a preliminary assessment of changes in water demand in the Subbasin during the GSP implementation period. The METRIC evapotranspiration (ET) data provided by ITRC (Howes, 2023) shows a notable decline in ET demand during WY 2020 through WY 2022 of 200,000 to 300,000 acre- feet compared to a similar hydrologic period from WY 2014 through 2016 (Figure 15). The ongoing Basin Study is currently evaluating potential changes in land use that could account for this decline. In addition, the Subbasin GSAs are currently coordinating several basin -wide management actions to better track and evaluate performance of GSP implementation over time. The data presented on Tables ES-1, ES-2, ES-3 and ES-4 are compiled into the data templates provided by DWR and submitted along with this Annual Report for consistent reporting of information and data. Table ES-4. Total Water Use by Water Use Sector, Kern County Subbasin, Water Year 2022 Change in Groundwater in Storage As required by the GSP regulations, the following figures included in the WY 2022 Annual Report illustrate the changes in groundwater in storage over the Subbasin: • Graph depicting water year type, groundwater use, the annual and cumulative change in groundwater in storage based on historical data to the greatest extent available, including from January 1, 2015 to the current reporting year. • Change in groundwater in storage maps for Subbasin Principal Aquifers. The Subbasin GSAs continue to support the annual updating of the C2VSimFG-Kern local model to assist with the change in groundwater in storage analyses. The model results represent the total change in groundwater in storage for the entire Kern County Subbasin that includes all Subbasin Principal Aquifers. Figure 16 shows the simulated change in groundwater in storage graph for the Kern County Subbasin over the 28-year period from WY 1995 to WY 2022. The graph includes the annual and cumulative change along with the water year type based on the San Joaquin Valley Index (CDEC, 2023). For WY WY 2022 Annual Report Kern County Subbasin ES-5 TODD GROUNDWATER 2022, a critically dry water year type, the groundwater in storage for the Kern County Subbasin declined by 1,740,468 acre-feet (AF). Figure 18 presents the annual basin -wide change in groundwater in storage map for WY 2022, using the C2VSimFG-Kern model results. The change in groundwater in storage represents the sum of the total inflow components plus the total outflow components. A positive value represents an increase in the volume of groundwater stored in the aquifer that was typified by a rise in groundwater levels whereas a negative represents a decrease in groundwater in storage typified by a decline in groundwater levels. WY 2022 was rated as a critically dry water year under the San Joaquin Valley Index (CDEC, 2023), and the Kern River Index was 29 percent of average Kern River flows (COB, 2022). As such, widespread low- level declines are observed over most of the Subbasin with some localized areas of minor increases. The change in groundwater in storage is concentrated in the vicinity of the large groundwater banking operations primarily in the center of the Subbasin, representing large volumes of recovery pumping to provide a critical water supply during the extraordinary drought conditions. This pumping recovers water that has already been banked in the groundwater Subbasin in previous years. Groundwater elevations in the banking areas historically fluctuate over a range of 200 feet in response to recharge and recovery operations. These operations lead to highly variable year-to-year change in groundwater in storage. Therefore, the concentrated change in storage in the banking areas is a highly -managed activity that plays a key part in maintaining the groundwater sustainability for the Subbasin. Change in Groundwater in Storage During GSA Management Period For this Annual Report, the average annual change in groundwater in storage over the three-year GSA Management period (WYs 2020-2022) is compared to the average from a similar hydrologic period of WYs 2014-2016 prior to GSA management. This preliminary analysis is presented in Section 6.3 and summarized below in Table ES-5. This comparison indicates that the decline in groundwater in storage for drought conditions during the GSA Management period is about 600,000 AFY less than the average decline estimated for the comparable hydrologic period during WYs 2014-2016. Table ES-5. Change in Groundwater in Storage Comparison of the GSA Management Period to a Comparable Recent Period A comparison of water supply and water use (Section 5.3) during these two periods indicates that average annual groundwater pumping was 370,000 AFY less than during WYs 2014-2016 (Table 8). Also, the average annual volume of managed aquifer recharge increased by 96,000 acre-feet. The WY 2022 Annual Report Kern County Subbasin ES-6 TODD GROUNDWATER combination of the decreased pumping and increased managed aquifer recharge accounts for about 80% of the difference in the change in groundwater in storage between these two periods. Both changes to groundwater pumping and managed aquifer recharge are directly related to SGMA implementation. As noted in Section 5.3, there are multiple potential factors contributing to the observed changes in water use. However, this preliminary assessment suggests that these water use changes have resulted in a reduced volumetric change in groundwater in storage during the GSA Management period as compared to the similar hydrologic period of WYs 2014-2016. The Subbasin GSAs are currently coordinating on several basin -wide management actions to improve the ability to address data gaps and better calculate water budgets. These projects, summarized in Section 7.2, will allow the Subbasin GSAs to better track and evaluate performance of the GSP implementation. Progress on GSP Implementation The GSAs and member agencies associated with the six GSPs have provided progress reports on their respective GSP implementation activities for WY 2021. These progress reports provided in Sections 7.3 through 7.8 are organized by the six GSPs, in alphabetical order for the lead GSA. KGA member agencies that have prepared Management Area Plans are listed in alphabetical order within Section 7.5. To facilitate DWR review, a consistent reporting format was established, based on the components listed in the GSP regulations (§356.2(b)(5)(Q, as follows: 1) Compliance with Sustainable Management Criteria a. GSP Monitoring Activities b. Changes in GSP Monitoring Network c. Progress in Achieving Interim Milestones d. Compliance with Additional Sustainable Management Criteria (including minimum thresholds (MTs) and measurable objectives (MOs)) 2) Implementation of Projects and Management Actions 3) Coordination with Stakeholders 4) Summary of Other GSP-related Special Studies or Activities In brief, all the Subbasin GSAs are in the process of implementing their GSPs, or addressing their data gaps, and are committed to coordination for sustainable groundwater management. Many GSP monitoring networks have been fully implemented; others are planning new monitoring sites. Some networks represent areas where local groundwater conditions do not have a long monitoring history and/or where little groundwater pumping occurs due to undeveloped land use (e.g., rangeland), and naturally poor groundwater quality. These areas have proposed new monitoring locations and/or "Watch Areas" to assess for changes, if any, in current land and groundwater use. To demonstrate the significant progress that GSAs/member agencies have been making on specific projects and management actions, those activities are briefly summarized in Table ES-6; the locations of the narrative that describe these actions in more detail are also provided in Table ES-6 for reference. Additional information is provided in Section 7.2 that also includes a summary on the various outreach WY 2022 Annual Report Kern County Subbasin ES-7 TODD GROUNDWATER and coordination activities conducted by the GSAs/member agencies in WY 2022 individual GSAs' management area summaries are provided in Section 7.3 to 7.8. In addition to the implementation of the individual GSPs, GSAs and member agencies are also coordinating on a collective effort to accomplish GSP implementation activities on a Subbasin-wide basis, including those documented in the Kern County Subbasin Coordination Agreement. These efforts, led by the Basin Coordination Committee (BCC), are summarized in Section 7.1. These Subbasin wide efforts are summarized below: • Coordination on Amended GSPs - Following the DWR Incomplete Determination letter on January 28, 2022, the Kern County Subbasin GSA and member agency managers met weekly to coordinate corrective actions and prepare Amended GSPs. A Kern Subbasin Amended Coordination Agreement and Amended GSPs were submitted to DWR in July 2022. • Coordination on Annual Report Data - Agencies shared in costs to purchase Subbasin-wide METRIC ET data, available on a monthly basis over the reporting period. Accordingly, this submittal of the Annual Report represents completion of an important GSP implementation measure that demonstrates ongoing coordination on a Subbasin-wide basis. • Application of the Kern County Subbasin DMS for Annual Report Preparation - The Subbasin GSAs are utilizing the web -based DMS to support GSP monitoring and analyses (Coordination Agreement, Appendix 5). In WY 2022, work began on expanding the DMS to include water budget data for the annual report and model updates via the DMS. This expanded capability was implemented in time to support this Annual Report. • Coordination on GSP Monitoring Data - The Subbasin GSAs continue to coordinate for collecting and reporting of GSP monitoring data. Compilation and reporting of the semi-annual monitoring data are now conducted using the DMS. • Additions to Subbasin-Wide Monitoring Protocols - To further support the GSA managers in tracking the Subbasin-wide performance of the GSP monitoring data with respect to their GSP sustainable management criteria, the DMS added a feature to email notifications to alert agency and GSA managers when a MT exceedance occurs. Managers can also use the DMS to track MT exceedances either through online mapping or downloading reports. • Successful Grant Application, SGM GSP Implementation Grant Program, Round 1- The Kern County Subbasin received a $7.6 million Round 1 sustainable groundwater management (SGM) grant for critically overdrafted basins under the Sustainable Groundwater Management (SGM) Grant Program SGMA Implementation grant authorized by the California Budget Act of 2021 and Proposition 68. The grant supports projects that encourage sustainable management of groundwater resources as required by SGMA. The contract between DWR and the representative for the Kern County Subbasin GSAs was signed on August 8, 2022 and includes the following components. o Grant Component: Basin Study -The Kern County Subbasin Study consists of a systematic, subbasin-wide analysis to address technical data gaps in the hydrogeological conceptual model (HCM), water budgets and model calibration. The WY 2022 Annual Report Kern County Subbasin ES-8 TODD GROUNDWATER existing C2VSimFG-Kern model will be upgraded to a Kern County Subbasin focused model. The Basin Study will provide the framework for more refined water budget analyses to support ongoing GSP planning and implementation. The results of the Basin Study will support local water managers, policy makers and stakeholders with multiple technical, policy, water rights and legal issues. o Grant Component: Evapotranspiration Analysis & Study — Field By Field - In WY 2022, the Subbasin GSAs worked with Land IQ to expand their ET monitoring service to all irrigated agricultural areas within the Subbasin. Irrigated agriculture represents the largest water use within the Subbasin; this method will improve calculation of ET on a field and crop basis. LandlQ will provide monthly ET data starting in WY 2023. o Grant Component: Land Subsidence Investigations and Monitoring - The Subbasin GSAs supported implementation of a regional land subsidence investigation to improve the land subsidence monitoring program (Coordination Agreement, Appendix 3). This regional effort was developed to supplement the local land subsidence monitoring focused on potential impacts to critical infrastructure of regional importance. The Subbasin GSAs are working in consultation with the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and the Friant Water Authority to plan, design and install an new extensometer device along the Friant-Kern Canal to assess the causes and magnitude of subsidence along this critical regional infrastructure. o Grant Component: Monitoring Wells - Funding to support improvements to existing monitoring network throughout the Kern subbasin by repairing existing monitoring, video water wells for screening, convert existing municipal and/or ag wells to monitoring wells. This will include the ability to video a minimum of 20 water wells for screening, convert existing municipal and/or ag wells to monitoring wells, and repair existing monitoring wells.
