Friant Water Usage
The Tulare County Farm Bureau Opposes any
expansion of the permitted place of use of Friant Water.
Tulare County Water Usage
- Tulare County Farm Bureau opposes
any transfer, exchange or similar transaction which has the effect
of reducing the amount of water available for beneficial use within
the area unless the transfer, exchange or similar transaction can be
completed in one year or less and water is determined to be surplus
to the area needs.
- Tulare County Farm Bureau will
consider opposition to any transfer, exchange or similar transaction
involving any water otherwise available within the area, which may
jeopardize the legal, political or policy position in any legal,
regulatory or public policy forum.
- Alternative programs to those which
involve transactions with entities outside of the Tulare County area
need to be developed and implemented. The Tulare County Farm
Bureau will encourage, and assist where appropriate, the development
of public policy needed to maintain and enhance the availability of
water within the Tulare County
area.

Farm Bureau recognizes the importance and value of water delivered
through the Friant Kern Water system particularly to the family farms of

S. Bureau of Reclamation. In a likewise manner, we support renewal
of other contracts as they expire and we oppose efforts to impede the
execution of all of these contracts.
