Friday, Jan. 19, 2024 Notable Items Kern County Water Agency marks historic Water Year with video retrospective The 2023 Water Year was historic for Kern County, Bakerseld and various local water agencies. Remarkable spring runoff was almost 400% of average, totaling about 1.8 million acre-feet of water coming to Lake Isabella. Following that surge into the lake, local water agencies managed the ow from the dam through Bakerseld, recharging much of that water (600,000 acre-feet) in Kern County and City groundwater. The Kern County Water Agency recently released a video chronicling those extraordinary efforts this year, including hearing from Bakerseld's Assistant Water Resources Director Daniel Maldonado on how the City managed the additional water through the Kern River.
