THE PIXLEY IRRIGATION DISTRICT (DISTRICT) WILL CONSTRUCT THE LATERAL 4 EXPANSION PROJECT THAT CONSISTS OF 5.5 MILES OF NEW CANALS. THE NEW INFRASTRUCTURE WILL ALLOW THE DISTRICT TO RECHARGE GROUNDWATER AND DELIVER SURFACE WATER IN LIEU OF LANDOWNERS PUMPING GROUNDWATER FROM THE CRITICALLY OVER-DRAFTED TULE GROUNDWATER BASIN. THROUGH IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROJECT, THE DISTRICT EXPECTS TO DELIVER AND RECHARGE APPROXIMATELY 1,620 ACRE-FEET ON AN AVERAGE ANNUAL BASIS. CALIFORNIA IS EXPERIENCING ITS THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR OF EXTREME DROUGHT CONDITIONS. HAVING THE ABILITY TO DELIVER SURFACE WATER AND RECHARGE AQUIFERS IN WET YEARS IS A KEY TOOL IN MITIGATING DROUGHT AND CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS. THE PROJECT WILL PROVIDE DROUGHT RESILIENCY THROUGH IMPROVED AQUIFER CONDITIONS AND ENHANCED WATER SUPPLY RELIABILITY FOR LOCAL FARMERS AND LOCAL DOMESTIC WATER USERS, CAPTURING WATER THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE LOST AND STORING IT FOR LATER BENEFICIAL USE. THE PROJECT IS IDENTIFIED AS DROUGHT MITIGATION ACTION IN BOTH THE DISTRICTS GROUNDWATER SUSTAINABILITY PLAN AND TULE RIVER INTEGRATED REGIONAL WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN.
