4.3 Water Resources 4.3 Water Resources
4.3 WATER RESOURCES 4.3 WATER RESOURCES This section describes the existing hydrological setting for the County, including a discussion of water quality, based on published and unpublished reports and data compiled by regional agencies. Agencies contacted include the United States Geological Survey, the California Department of Water Resources, and the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board. This section also identifies impacts that may result from the project. SETTING CLIMATE The local climate is considered warm desert receiving approximately six to eight inches of rainfall per year (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 1986). Rainfall occurs primarily in the winter months, with lesser amounts falling in late summer and fall. Kings County would also be considered a dry climate since evaporation greatly exceeds precipitation.1 A common characteristic of dry climates, other than relatively small amounts of precipitation, is that the amount of precipitation received each year is highly variable. Generally, the lower the mean annual rainfall, the greater the year-to-year variability (Lutgens and Tarbuck, 1979). SURFACE WATER HYDROLOGY The County is part of a hydrologic system referred to as the Tulare Lake Basin (Figure 4.3- 1). The management of water resources within the Tulare Lake Basin is a complex activity and is critical to the region’s agricultural operations. The County can be divided into three main hydrologic subareas: the northern alluvial fan and basin area (in the vicinity of the Kings, Kaweah, and Tule rivers and their distributaries), the Tulare Lake Zone, and the southwestern uplands (including the areas west of the California Aqueduct and Highway 5) (Figure 4.3-2). -

South Florida Circumnavigation 2017
Completing the Circumnavigation of South Florida By Chuck Purse South Florida is actually an island! The nine day voyage began early in January, 2017 when we completed the first leg from Hillsboro Inlet to Stuart, FL about 85 miles north of the Club. We waited for a good day so that we could make the run in open water rather than the using the time consuming Intracoastal Waterway. We stayed at Sunset Bay Marina in Stuart, one of the prettiest places on the East Coast. The sunsets are indeed beautiful and all the needed services are available at a reasonable cost. Stuart offers a broad array of dining choices and the adorable Old Colorado Inn. The next day took us up the St Lucie River toward Lake Okeechobee. The Okeechobee Waterway runs 155 miles from Stuart westward through Lake Okeechobee to Ft Myers and the Gulf of Mexico. This Waterway separates the southern portion of the State from the northern part of the Florida peninsula. The crossing includes beautiful countryside, incredible wildlife, and five locks to navigate as you make the 15’ climb up to Lake Okeechobee. The lake itself is impressively large with only the southern shore visible as you cross. Be careful to stay in the channel especially when the lake level is low to minimize the chance of bouncing off the bottom! That night we stayed at Roland Martin Marina in Clewiston, FL bordering the southwestern corner of the the lake. This historical sugar town is worth a one night visit. We arrived in time to play golf at Clewiston Golf Course which was a pleasant surprise. -

D of the 43ivl, the 4'-)th and fag-end company of the Twentieth, reported to the La Cluse-Bourg District, Ninth Battalion, and were given charge of the Murat operation, in the upper valley of the river AUier, in south central France. Here they operated a McDonough sawmill of 10,000 rated capacity. The region was rich in timber resources, and its importance led to the establishment of a new F'orestry district at LePuy, si.xty miles to the east, with Fourteenth Battalion Headquarters in control. At the cessation of hostilities several new camps were in progress of development in the neighborhood. Upon release from the Le Puy District the 49th Co. was sent to join the assembled Forest troops in the Landes, and spent the spring in road repair details around Ponten.x and Labouheyre. After the Fourth Battalion left for home, early in May, the 49th took over the job of liquidating the American mills in the Da.x district, as well as at f^ontenx, iVlimizan and the Burnt Area. Sale of the bulk of equipment remaining to French railway in- terests closed the need for garrison functions, and the scattered details started for the States, leaving only a forlorn rearguard, and warped and silent shanties, to recall to the Landais villagers the boom days of '17-19.
