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"
|
-
Diversion is small or minimal in size
-
Diversions are infrequent
-
Other
|
Explanation of why use of devices and technologies listed in
Section 1 are "not locally cost effective"
|
The point of diversion and the land irrigated under Statement S18031 are located within the Sacramento River levees and prone to inundation during high river flows. The point of diversion serves only one field consisting of approximately 120 acres, is not irrigated every year, and is typically planted to lower value crops, due to the possible inundation. Lower cost flow measurement devices, such as propeller meters, are subject to plugging by debris from the river and therefore, require high maintenance costs and provide questionable accuracy. In addition, the site is located in a remote area and is susceptible to vandalism.
|
g. |
Method(s) used as an alternative to direct measurement |
-
Electricity records dedicated to the pump
|
Explanation of method(s) used as an alternative to direct measurement |
Monthly diversions are estimated based on power records for the diversion pump along with Sacramento River stage data from the California Data Exchange Centers Knights Landing (KNL) station.

6. Purpose of Use
|
Irrigation |
113
Acres
Mixed Crop Types
|
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 |
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 annual quantity of water conserved has not been quantified at this time.
|
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?
|
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
|
|
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.
