Westlands Water District

Westlands Water District is a large agricultural water district located in California's Central Valley. Established in 1952, it serves farmers by providing irrigation water from the Federal Central Valley Project. Covering about 600,000 acres, it is one of the most productive farming regions in the U.S., growing crops like vegetables and fruit. The district faces challenges such as water availability due to drought and environmental regulations. Its management and policies are important for balancing agricultural needs with conservation efforts within California's complex water system.
