CA Codes (wat:10825-10826)

10825.  To the extent information is available, the reports shall
address all of the following:
   (a) The quantity and source of water delivered to, and by, the
supplier.
   (b) Other sources of water used within the service area, such as
groundwater and other diversions.
   (c) A general description of the supplier's water delivery system
and service area, including a map.
   (d) Total irrigated acreage within the service area.
   (e) The amount of acreage of trees and vines grown within the
service area.
   (f) An identification of all of the following:
   (1) Current water conservation and reclamation practices being
used.
   (2) Plans for changing current water conservation plans.
   (3) Conservation educational services being used.
   (g) A determination of whether the supplier, through improved
irrigation water management, has a significant opportunity to do one
or both of the following:
   (1) Save water by means of reduced evapotranspiration,
evaporation, or reduction of flows to unusable water bodies that fail
to serve further beneficial uses.
   (2) Reduce the quantity of highly saline or toxic drainage water.



10826.  To the extent information is available, the plans shall
address all of the following:
   (a) The quantity and source of surface water, groundwater, and
recycled water delivered to and by the supplier.
   (b) A description of all of the following:
   (1) The water delivery system used in the area supplied.
   (2) The beneficial uses of the water supplied, including noncrop
beneficial uses.
   (3) Conjunctive use programs.
   (4) Incidental and planned groundwater recharge.
   (5) Water recycling programs, including treatment and distribution
facilities.
   (6) The amounts of the delivered water that are lost to further
beneficial use to unusable bodies of water or moisture-deficient
soils through the following:
   (A) Crop evapotranspiration.
   (B) Noncrop evapotranspiration.
   (C) Evaporation from water surfaces.
   (D) Surface flow or percolation.
   (c) An identification of cost-effective and economically feasible
measures for water conservation and recycling, their resulting
detriments and benefits, and the impacts on amounts of downstream
surface water supply and immediately adjacent groundwater supply.
   (d) An evaluation of other significant impacts, including impacts
within the service area and downstream on fish and wildlife habitat,
water quality, energy use, and other factors of either local or
statewide concern or interstate concern, where applicable.
Alternatives should be designed to minimize impacts on other
beneficial users currently being served both within and without the
service area and to result in improved overall water management.
   (e) A schedule prepared by the supplier to implement those water
management practices that it determines to be cost-effective and
economically feasible.  Priority shall be given to those water
management practices, or combination of practices, that offer lower
incremental costs than expanded or additional water supplies.
