Kings River Watershed

The Kings River Watershed is the land area that collects and channels rainfall and snowmelt into the Kings River, which flows through central California. Covering about 1,100 square miles, it includes mountains, forests, and farmland. The watershed provides vital water for agriculture, cities, and ecosystems. Its health depends on managing water quality, preventing flooding, and conserving habitats for wildlife. Because it supplies water to millions, careful stewardship is essential to sustain its resources for future generations.
