Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

CLICK HERE to listen as SJV Water CEO/Editor Lois Henry talks with KVPR’s Elizabeth Arkelian about the recent 5th District Court of Appeal’s ruling that reversed a Kern County’s court ordering the City of Bakersfield to keep at least some water flowing in the river that’s normally dry through the heart of town.

The Kern River west of Allen Road is typically dry (top 2020) except in heavy water years (bottom 2019). A lawsuit seeks to force the City of Bakersfield to study the impacts of drying up the river in most years. Lois Henry / SJV Water
