Conservation of Water |
8. Are you now employing water conservation efforts? |
Yes
|
Description of water conservation efforts |
Optimum water conservation efforts are ongoing and include, but are not limited to, good water management and farming practices such as, re-circulation system, crop shifts, varietal changes, laser leveling of fields, weed abatement, and irrigation scheduling techniques. The total quantity of water conserved during each year is variable and depends upon numerous factors, including but not limited to climatic conditions, hydrologic conditions, and on-farm operational practices. Differentiating and measuring or quantifying conserved water for some efforts is not possible or feasible due to the complexity of the multiple variables involved. Therefore, the total annual quantity of water conserved (8,257 acre-feet) is estimated based on the difference between the 29,800 acre-feet authorized for diversion under the Settlement Contract
No. 14-06-200-878A-R-1 between the Company and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation,
and the 21,543 acre-feet diverted in 2013 under the contract. The estimated quantity conserved was allocated to License Nos. 1718(A575) and 3123(A577) in order of priority up to the face value of the water right.

Additional Remarks |
Purpose of Use: The acreage identified in this report receives water under River Garden Farms Companys water right Licenses Nos. 1718 (A 575), 3123 (A 577), 4636 (A 11910), and Settlement Contract No. 14-06-200-878A-R-1 between the Company and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. The water under all the Companys rights is conveyed using the same facilities. Amount of Water Diverted
and Used: Water under River Garden Farms Companys water right Licenses Nos. 1718 (A 575), 3123 (A 577), riparian claims, and Settlement Contract No. 14-06-200-878A-R-1 between the Company and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is diverted and conveyed through the same facilities. Monthly diversions are measured by Reclamation in accordance to the Settlement Contract. Land use information and order of priority are used to allocate a portion of the measured diversion to each water right. The sum of the diversion quantities identified in the Reports of Licensee for Licenses Nos. 1718 (A575) and 3123 (A577)and the two Supplemental Statements of Diversion and Use (S22168 and S22169) equal the total diversion measured by Reclamation.
