KERN COUNTY WATER AGENCY:
NEA Analyzes Economic Impacts and Related Issues for the California State Water Project (SWP) in Kern County

"NEA’s economic analyses are easy to understand, not a black box approach, and have withstood the test of time and peer review."

Lloyd Fryer, Policy and Administration Manager
Kern County Water Agency

Project Highlights
Since 1983, NEA has provided annual analysis of the economic benefits of the California State Water Project (SWP) derived by Kern County agriculture and the regional economy. Using simulation and input-output modeling techniques, NEA developed a clear and concise method to develop and present economic information for the annual zone of benefit report and hearing. The economic model and information has survived the test of time and cross-examination for over 18 years. Since 1987, NEA has also participated in the California Bay-Delta Hearings on behalf of the Kern County Water Agency and other agricultural water contractors, evaluating the trade offs and impacts of water allocations from the Bay-Delta.
