The property is also located in the Kings River Water District and the Kaweah Delta Water Conservation District. The property does not receive surface water from the Kings River Water District. However, in the past, Kaweah Delta Water Conservation District has provided surface water for recharge programs, enhancing pumping credits. The property has access to riparian water from Mill Creek when available and the ability to pump Corcoran Irrigation District surface water from the Highline Canal when water is available for purchase from Corcoran Irrigation District, which it has purchased in the past during wet years.

Additionally, the GSA has created a water trading platform where landowners within the GSA can buy and sell their water pumping credits.

However, the diverse plantings on this ranch provide a stable production average with minimal variation, ensuring consistent performance.
