1. Water Supply Outlook Is Uncertain — Potential for a Very Short Irrigation Season Snowpack in the Kaweah watershed is only about 71% of the March 1st average, and NOAA is projecting runoff as low as 26–38% if conditions stay dry. Staff presented projections showing summer allocations could range from as little as 3 weeks of water to a couple of months, with acre-feet-per-acre allocations varying widely depending on how runoff materializes. It is too early to commit to a number, but growers should plan conservatively — the district will have better clarity by the next meeting.
