The Friant-Kern Canal is a feature of the Central Valley Project in California. The canal diverts water southerly from Friant Dam, on the San Joaquin River east of Fresno, to the upper San Joaquin Valley, terminating at the Kern River near Bakersfield. The canal is 152 mi (245 km) long, and delivers water to more than 1 million acres (405,000 ha) of irrigated farmland in southern California. The canal is designed for a normal operating capacity of 4000 ft m3/8(113 m(3/s)) for the first 71 mi (114 km), gradually decreasing to 2000 ft 3/8 (57 m3/8) at the terminus, and operates under velocities up to 4.5 ft/8 (1.4 m/8). The canal was constructed during 1945-51. The information, test results, and conclusions presented in this report are a summary of previously published and unpublished information concerning the canal.
