Grower’s Corner: Sweet Potato Project
Conserving water while making an impact on youth Efficient irrigation strategies are essential to meet…
North Kings GSA is working in cooperation with Fresno Irrigation District (FID) to encourage growers to retain their flood irrigation systems so they can use surface water when available. Improving groundwater conditions and making it through future droughts requires conscious water management decisions by all.

The Soil Agricultural Groundwater Banking Index (SAGBI) is based on the five major factors that are critical to successful agricultural groundwater banking: deep percolation, root zone residence time, topography, chemical limitations and soil surface condition. Click the link below to find your farm on the SAGBI map, and assess groundwater recharge suitability:
The Groundwater Recharge Assessment Tool’s (GRAT) cloud-based application integrates hydrologic, agronomic and geologic science with best-available data from local, state and federal sources to create an indexed ranking of suitable recharge sites. The map includes data layers for crop type, GSA boundaries, and recharge suitability. Learn more on the map at the link below:
