River has PR potential

Unclaimed water and the potential to see the mighty Kern River flow more often is an exciting possibility. If we (the government and citizens of Kern County) determine or have determined that our agricultural water needs are met, then I think the beautification and color the river could bring to Bakersfield and surrounding areas would be fantastic. It would allow for more recreational business and an increase in business potential near the Kern.

The PR potential and showcasing Bakersfield with a beautiful river is exciting.
