The Kern River basin snow pack was surveye� California and United States Forest Service personnel during the last week of January 2008 with manual m� of snow pack depth and water content. The February ls' forecast of Kern River runoff assumes median � amounts will occur over the Kern River watershed subsequent to the date of forecast. Actual precipitation rf February ls` will be reflected in the first of the month forecasts to be distributed by the State of Californi< April and May of 2008. KERN RIVER FORECAST SUMMARY April through July runoff April-July 80% probability range (actual runoff should fall within the stated limits eight times out of ten) March through October runoff Water Year runoff (October 2007 through September 2008) = 430,000 acre-feet (93% of norma = 280,000 to 910,000 acre-feet = 525,000 acre-feet = 600,000 acre-feet (82% of norma Based upon this February ls' forecast, the followi.ng table reflects City of Bakersfield Kern River water the March-October period of 2008: I.

The City also has a commitment to deliver 10,000 acre-feet annually to Rosedale-Rio Bravo Water Storage District. This water is normally delivered during the period of October through February, if and when short-term supplies become available to City.
