Common use of Monitoring of Alternate Methods Clause in Contracts

Monitoring of Alternate Methods. To the extent that WUP Practices other than the permanent retirement of water rights are used to achieve WUP Region Volumes, the JME, consistent with the recommendations of its Technical Team, will quantify the change in Net Consumptive Use resulting from such WUP Practices. The LE will monitor those WUP Practices to ensure that the reductions are achieved and continued in accordance with the WUP Guidelines. If reductions in Net Consumptive Use are not being achieved or continued, the JME will work with the LE to institute changes or shifts in WUP Practices to achieve the WUP Region Volumes. The JME will work with the LE, OWRD, USGS, and Funding Entities to develop appropriate water metering, measuring, and reporting systems to quantify and monitor the results of WUP Practices.
