that on Friday, May ~11, 1979, California Water Service called
to~inform,~him of a power outage that had occured in our system
due to ~contrac~utting and shorting out the electricity
within the systems area. Pressure within the system dropped
to a low of 10 .~. _. :w i th two (2) wells remaining on line. Calif-
ornia Water se'~e staff responded to the emergency. , Mr. Hansen
stated this i~good example of why the two (2) mg ~ahk§ and emer-
gency.baek-uy system.in the C'apital Budget is needed.

Mr. Bart~ reported that last F~iday, May 11, 1979 he~ Mrl Payne
and Mr. ~ogart had meet with the. California Energy Commission in
Sacramento regarding the possibility of incorporating LOW-HEAD
HYDRO in~o the Kern River diversion structures. Mr. Barton
felt the ~formation obtained from the trip was very fruitful.
_
Mr. Barton at this time questioned the staff regarding whether'
o~ not the City had a monitoring system on the 2800 acres. Mr.
Chafin stated that the water was~measured going into the 2800
~acres and all parties involved seemed to be satisfied with the
present system.
There being no further business to come before the board, Chair-

Re: Groundwater Management
Gentlemen:
This District has revieWed your Statement of Policy dated
March 7, 1979 which appears by its terms to address an alleged
current need for "meaningful management" of Kern County ground-
water supplies, particularly in the Kern River fan area. We
believe a statement of this kind is politically unwise having
been issued in the wake of various unrealistic groundwater
management proposals such as those contained in the final report
of the Governor's ~Commission on Water Rights Law and legislation
introduced this year to implement said report.
We are not-adverse to discussing with you potential joint
efforts for more efficient utilization of our respective Kern
River entitlements.- However, we believe the proper public
position on the subject of groundwater management is the position
taken by the San. Joaquin Valley Agricultural Water Committee
in its Statement of Policy adopted April 13, 1979 (a copy of
which is enclosed). You are advised that the District aligned
itself with this policy by formal action taken at its regular
meeting of April 19, 1979.
If you have any questions or comments please advise.
Very truly yours,
Kern Detta~Wate~ District
St~ley'E. Willis,
President

SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY AGRICULTURAL WATER COI. R~IITTEE
STATEbfENT OF POLICY
WITH RESPECT TO GROUND WATER I'L~.NAGE:~E~T
RECITALS
The San Joaquin Valley Agricultural Water Com=~ittee represents.an area comprising
approximately four million acres of highly productive irrigated land in the
San Joaquin Valley presently threatened by an insufficient water supply which
can be solved only by the importation of additional water.
2. The Committee strongly supports ground water management through the integration
of supplemental surface water with ongoing conjunctive use ground water programs
as currently being conducted by local public and private entities.
3. The San Joaquin Valley has the physical facilities and institutional tools for
conjunctive use of surface and ground water, and the knowledge and desire to
integrate required additional supplemental surface water into its present con-
junctive use programs.
4. It has been proposed by other than representatives of the San Joaquin Valley that
new laws beestablished which would provide for state control of both existing
and future ground water and conjunctive use programs which are now successfully
being implemented or which may be implemented in the future.
5'. It has also been proposed by such outside interests that a program of state
ground water control will alleviate the ground water problems of the Valley and
that such a program must be established as a condition of any further water
. ~.~..}~:/...~i-:[ development by. the State Water. Project and the Federal Central Valley Project.
· ,,, : , ,.,,:: . -~. ." . , -, ..' : .~'.- ....
~. ~ H~]ever, cont,'acts and obligations entered into by Proje ter users did not
include, as a condition of their being implemented, State control of ~round water,
or the additional cost occasioned thereby.
.6. No evidence has been presented nor has any demonstration been made as to any
benefit of such state control or of how such action could either add to the
existing water supply or provide for its more efficient use.
POLICY STATEMENT
1. The San Joaquin Valley Agricultural Water Committee is in support of ground water
management and the conjunctive use of surface and ground water as now carried out
under local programs and will oppose any new legislation dealing with ground water
management or control.
2. The Committee is strongly opposed to control of ground water by the State and is
further opposed to such control being established as a condition for the State
and the United States doing those things necessary to meet their existing and/or
future contractual obligations.
