The infrastructure projects considered in this study are an expansion of the Friant-Kern Canal (FKC, dotted red line) and a new groundwater bank near the FKC and the Tule River (red star). “Friant Contractors” are water providers with contracts to receive Central Valley Project water from the FKC. “Non-Friant Contractors” are other water providers in the region without Friant contracts. The bottom center inset shows KCWA Improvement District No. 4, a water provider that overlaps with other providers in the square-designated region of the main map.
