Conservation of Water

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. The quantity conserved that could be credited under this License in 2015 was limited due to curtailments by the SWRCB.

Monthly diversions are measured by Reclamation in accordance to the Settlement Contract. For the purposes of reporting, the measured diversions are allocated to the individual water right licenses and claims based on land use information and the priority if the water rights. Lands outside of the riparian portion of the service area were served with water under the Settlement Contract during times the Licenses were curtailed by the SWRCB. Conjunctive Use of Groundwater: The amount of Groundwater Used identified under Item 13 reflects only the quantity that was pumped and could be credited under this license during the period the License was not curtailed. The licensee participated in a Water Transfer Program with the USBR in 2015 under which additional groundwater was pumped and served to the place of use in lieu of surface water deliveries under Contract 14-06-200-878A-R-1.
