| 7. Conservation of Water |
| a. |
Are you now employing water conservation efforts? |
Yes
|
| Describe any water conservation efforts you have initiated |
The Joint Water Districts maximize the beneficial use of water through implementation of numerous water conservation efforts including, but not limited to, recirculation of drain water, automated water level control structures, irrigation scheduling techniques and technologies, and weed management programs. In addition, the individual Districts¿ landowners have implemented numerous water conservation efforts including, but not limited to, land leveling, irrigation scheduling techniques and technologies, installation of drip irrigation systems, varietal changes, drainage improvements, reduced spill from rice fields, and minimum tillage techniques.
The total quantity of water conserved by the Joint Water Districts each year is variable and depends upon numerous factors including, but not limited to, climatic conditions, hydrologic conditions, individual Districts¿ operational practices, and on-farm operational practices. Differentiating and measuring or quantifying conserved water for some efforts is difficult, and in some cases, not possible or feasible due to the complexity of the multiple variables involved. The Joint Water Districts will continue to implement the best available and locally feasible conservation methods to improve their irrigation delivery system and water use efficiency.
The District and its landowners participated in a water transfer program which involved the temporary idling of approximately 14,974 acres within the District. This program resulted in a consumptive use savings of approximately 49,416 acre-feet. The actual reduction in diversions resulting from the 2010 cropland idling program are estimated to be approximately 104,369 acre-feet.

I have data to support the above surface water use reductions due
to conservation efforts.
|
Yes
|
| 8. 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?
|
No
|
| 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
|
|
| 9. Conjuctive Use of Surface Water and Groundwater |
| a. |
Are you now using groundwater in lieu of surface water?
|
Yes
|
| b. |
Amount of groundwater used |
6715
Acre-Feet
|
|
I have data to support the above surface water use reductions due to
the use of groundwater.
|
Yes
|
| 10a. Additional Remarks |
|
The total diversions reported under this Water Right ID consist of water diverted at both the Sutter Butte Canal, for which this ID was issued, and the Richvale Canal. Both points of diversion are located at the Lake Oroville Afterbay and all diversions reported herein are under the same pre-1914 water rights. The Joint Water Districts have requested the State Water Resources Control Board to issue a Water Right ID for diversions at the Richvale Canal and will continue to report Richvale Canal diversions under this Water Right ID until a separate ID is issued for that point of diversion.
