The Kings River Watershed Coalition Authority (commonly known as the Kings River Water Quality Coalition) is a joint powers agency established by the irrigation districts in the Kings River service area. It is governed by a board of directors of landowners from each of the districts. Staffing of the Coalition is administered through an agreement with the Kings River Conservation District located in Fresno. The Coalition was formed in 2009 in order to provide growers within the region a cost-effective way to comply with the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board regulations. The Coalition conducts regional monitoring and reporting and assists members in compliance with the regulations. The Coalition is not the regulatory or enforcement agency.

The Coalition is required to submit several reports to the Central Valley Water Board as part of the General Order Requirements.
