Under this $8,162,928 federal Project Grant awarded by the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation under the Reclamation States Emergency Drought Relief program (CFDA 15.514), the North Kern Water Storage District (NKWSD) will drill and equip a 6 cubic feet per second (CFS) groundwater well, and connect it to the Friant-Kern Canal through a discharge pipeline. This project will enable the conveyance and return of 1,999 acre-feet per year of previously stored water to downstream banking partners. The project is located near Bakersfield, California, with the well constructed at approximately 35°27'47.64"N, 119°11'19.74"W, and the pipeline connecting to the canal at 35°29'13.15"N, 119°11'17.41"W. The project is identified as high priority in the Poso Creek Integrated Regional Water Management Group's Drought Contingency Plan, and aims to improve water supply reliability and drought resilience in the region.

Nkwsd is a member in the poso creek integrated regional water management group, and this project is identified as high priority in their poso creek drought contingency plan that was developed with assistance from a watersmart drought contingency planning grant. The project is located near the city of bakersfield, california. The well will be constructed at approximately 3527 47.64 N, 11911 19.74 W and will be connected to the friant kern canal, FKC, via a pipeline starting at the well location and ending at approximately 3529 13.15 N, 11911 17.41 W.the deliverable major components of the project include but are not limited to drilling and equipping one 6 CFS capacity well installing pipeline from the well and connecting to the FKC, and constructing a discharge into the fkcbeneficiariesthe public.
