5. Water Diversion Measurement
a. Measurement
Direct measurement using a device listed in Section 1 is "not locally cost effective" for water directly diverted and/or diverted to storage
b. Types of measuring devices used
c. Additional technology used
Description of additional technology used
d. Who installed your measuring device(s)
e. Make, model number, and last calibration date of your measuring device(s)
f. Why direct measurement using a device listed in Section 1 is "not locally cost effective"
  • Other
Explanation of why use of devices and technologies listed in Section 1 are "not locally cost effective" The cost of acquisition, installation, maintenance (including vandalism and theft deterrence and remediation), collection and compilation of data from measuring devices is not locally cost-effective because the value of the local benefits of installing and maintaining meters is not greater than the value of the local cost of implementing that measure. There are no apparent grants available to otherwise cover costs of water meters and related actions. Moreover, the unique hydrogeological characteristics of the Delta (e.g., tides, seepage, interconnected channels, etc.) indicate that meters are not the best available technology in this region. Any water diverted in the Delta which is not consumed or evaporated is recycled to the Delta Pool for reuse. As further support for the conclusion that measuring devices are not locally cost-effective reference is made to the documentation on file with the SWRCB attesting to the lack of such cost-effectiveness submitted in connection with the SWRCB's July 21, 2011 "Water Measurement Workshop" and the SWRCB¿s follow-up solicitation of comments (due November 18, 2011) re the same.
g. Method(s) used as an alternative to direct measurement
  • Crop duty estimates/consumptive use estimates
Explanation of method(s) used as an alternative to direct measurement Used ITRC REPORT 03-001 ETc Table for Irrigation Scheduling and Design, Zone 12 for Surface Irrigation, Typical year adjusted for the reporting year using CIMIS monthly ETo for Manteca. For crops not covered by the ITRC report ETc was determined using ratios to alfalfa from Table A-5, DWR Bulletin 168, October 1978.
6. Purpose of Use
Irrigation 94 Acres
7. Changes in Method of Diversion
 
8. Conservation of Water
a. Are you now employing water conservation efforts? Yes
Describe any water conservation efforts you have initiated Good water management and farming practices, lined ditches, pipelines, drip irrigation, sprinkler irrigation, low energy spray irrigation, cover crops, mulching, laser leveling. Any diverted water which is not consumed or evaporated is recycled to the Delta Pool. Credit is claimed for these water conservation efforts under section 1011 of the Water Code. A specific amount conserved is not reported due to the lack of a present method to precisely quantify that amount.
b. Amount of water conserved Acre-Feet
I have data to support the above surface water use reductions due to conservation efforts.
9. Water Quality and Wastewater Reclamation
a. Are you now or have you been using reclaimed water from a wastewater treatment facility, desalination facility, or water polluted by waste to a degree which unreasonably affects such water for other beneficial causes?
b. Amount of reduced diversion
Type of substitute water supply
Amount of substitute water supply used
I have data to support the above surface water use reductions due to the use of a substitute water supply
10. Conjuctive Use of Surface Water and Groundwater
a. Are you now using groundwater in lieu of surface water? No
b. Amount of groundwater used
I have data to support the above surface water use reductions due to the use of groundwater.
11a. Additional Remarks
The amount diverted is a multiple of the reported use amount, plus a factor to account for field flooding (if any). The multiple is to account for additional water that is diverted but not consumed or evaporated.
