Mission: To sustainably manage the Kings River service area’s water resources, provide reliable flood protection, and produce clean energy, enhancing the region’s public safety, natural resources, economic prosperity, and community well-being.
The Kings River Conservation District was established in 1951 by a special act of the State legislature as a multi-county, special district formed to manage the lower Kings River watershed, serving all the constituents within 1.2 million acres in portions of Fresno, Kings and Tulare counties. Flood control, water resource management, and hydropower generation are primary responsibilities, as well as watershed and habitat enhancement. The video to the right focuses on hydropower and highlights the 40th anniversary of the Jeff L. Taylor Pine Flat Power Plant.
