AGRICULTURAL WATER USE EFFICIENCY Sample Clauses

AGRICULTURAL WATER USE EFFICIENCY. ‌ Since the 1940’s IID and Imperial Valley growers have worked aggressively to implement system-wide and on-farm water conservation measures. These measures are documented in IID’s 2007 Water Conservation Plan. Additional water conservation efficiency strategies are identified in IID’s Efficiency Conservation Definite Plan (Definite Plan) (Davids Engineering 2007) 3 and System Conservation Plan and Delivery Measurement Description (System Conservation Plan) (IID 2009), while adaptive management is being used to modify these plans as practices and conditions change. To support integration of the existing plans, these three plans that define the Imperial Region agricultural water use efficiency strategies and are incorporated by reference and made part of the Imperial IRWMP. Updates to these plans as well as changes resulting from adaptive management will be incorporated by reference in future Imperial IRWMP updates.4 1 QSA by and among IID, MWD, and CVWD, Exhibit C. 10 Oct 2010. <xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/Modules/ShowDocument.aspx?documentid=882> (p 39 of 44) 2 On September 13, 2011, IID board of directors approved a resolution presented by General Manager Xxxxx Xxxxxx to petition the State Water Resources Control Board to amend its 2002 water order regarding mitigation water for the Salton Sea from 2014-2017 3 Due to terms in the QSA, on-farm conservation efforts were not start until 2017.

Under the QSA/Transfer Agreements, historical levels of agricultural production are to be maintained and only water conserved through efficiency practices would be transferred. However, to address impacts of the IID/SDCWA transfer, fallowing of agricultural land has been included to meet SWRCB requirements for Salton Sea mitigation (2003-2017). Fallowing has also been used for payback of inadvertent overruns and to meet early QSA commitments and other opportunities, such as Intentionally Created Surplus.
