Water Quantity Clause Samples
The Water Quantity clause defines the specific amount of water to be supplied, used, or managed under an agreement. It typically sets measurable limits or minimums, such as daily, monthly, or annual volumes, and may outline procedures for monitoring and reporting usage. This clause ensures both parties have a clear understanding of water allocation, helping to prevent disputes over shortages or overuse and supporting sustainable resource management.
Water Quantity. For this Agreement, surface water quantity is monitored to ensure equitable sharing of Available Water between Parties and to maintain the Ecological Integrity of the Aquatic Ecosystem. To accomplish this, surface water quantity should be monitored on a regional, Basin-wide level and tracked with water withdrawals and return flows, water quality and the biological components in the Aquatic Ecosystem. There are currently 24 water quantity stations in the Liard River basin that record and report data in real time. An appropriate water quantity monitoring border station will be determined by the BMC. Scientific and traditional knowledge assessment will occur as part of the Learning Plans for the La Biche and Beaver Rivers and may identify monitoring stations specific to these water bodies that could be included in the BWMA program. The Parties recommend that two stations, which lie along the main stem of the Liard River, and which are operated by Environment Canada (Figure 3; Table 8), be included in the long- term regional and basin level monitoring program. Snow stations will be added to this Appendix by the BMC after the time of signing.

To accomplish this, surface water quantity should be monitored on a regional, basin-wide level and tracked with water withdrawals and return flows, water quality and the biological components in the Aquatic Ecosystem. There are currently six active long-term water quantity stations in the Peel River basin (Table 10; Figure 3). The station, Peel River above Fort ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (10MC002), is a priority station where water quantity triggers and objectives will be assessed. All other stations will be included in the long-term regional and Basin-level monitoring program. The Parties have agreed to continue to support long-term surface water quantity monitoring in the Basin while the Learning Plan for the Peel River is completed. Snow stations will be added to this Appendix by the BMC after the time of signing.
Water Quantity. 1. In each of the first eight Water Accounting Years of this Agreement (January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2015), ▇▇▇▇ will deliver to the Buyer, for use by the EWA, and the Buyer will pay for, 60,000 acre-feet of Component 1 Water, subject to Section 11 ("General Provisions Applicable to Water") of this Agreement. The total quantity of Component 1 Water that Yuba will deliver to the Buyer during the first eight Water Accounting Years of this Agreement will be 480,000 acre-feet. Unless conditions under Section 23.D. apply, Component 1 Water will be used to support continued implementation of EWA fishery protection purposes under the EWA Operating Principles Agreement (dated August 28, 2000, as amended) and that supplement regulatory obligations existing in 2006.
2. In certain years, and pursuant to the accounting principles set forth in Exhibit 1, operational limitations of the Yuba Project, the CVP, and/or the SWP may cause the quantity of Component 1 Water that Yuba can deliver to the Buyer to be reduced below 60,000 acre-feet during a Water Accounting Year. Under those circumstances, unless the Contracting Parties agree otherwise, ▇▇▇▇ will deliver the undelivered Component 1 Water: (a) during the next Water Accounting Year that is not a Dry or Critical Water Year; (b) when such make-up water can be delivered from Yuba’s available surface-water supply; and (c) on a schedule that is acceptable to the Buyer and Yuba that would not impair the ability of Yuba to make Components 2 through Components 4 Water available, as provided in this Agreement.

3. The Buyer and Yuba will schedule Component 1 Water pursuant to Section 9 ("Scheduling of Water") of this Agreement.
4. In all Water Accounting Years that include all or part of the term of any FERC Annual License, Yuba will deliver to the Buyer, and the Buyer will pay for, 60,000 acre-feet of Component 1 Water, subject to Sections 15A(2) and 15B of this Agreement.
5. The quantities of Component 1 Water delivered by Yuba to the Buyer during all Water Accounting Years that include the term of the FERC Long-Term License, and do not include any part of the term of any FERC Annual License, will be subject to Sections 15A(3) and 15C of this Agreement.
Water Quantity. A thorough understanding of the quantity of water required for various uses is critical for developing sustained use of the region’s water resources. Sufficient quantities of fresh water are necessary, not only for economic development, agriculture, and recreation, but also for supporting ecosystems. Many programs in government agencies and other organizations use water quantity data and information. Improving water quantity data and characterization, strengthening cooperation between water management programs, and preparing now for future water quantity issues have been identified key issues that require water quantity data. Water quantity is also linked to water quality with regards to issues such as pollutant concentration levels, wastewater discharge requirements, and anthropogenic impacts associated with rainfall/recharge events. Environmental and climatic conditions play a major role in the demands for and the availability of water supplies. Effective decisionmaking relies on water quantity data and information from both naturally occurring events and human activities. Tracking data and information on droughts, floods, storm water runoff, instream flows, ground water recharge, water withdrawals, developmentrelated storm drainage, and water diversions is critical. Managing the region’s water resources for sustained use cannot be successful without the knowledge and understanding of the hydrologic cycle, the myriad of demands on the resource and fluctuation in ground and surface water supplies.
▇.▇.▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Understanding the quantity of water available in a region’s groundwater basins, streams and reservoirs, and as precipitation is paramount for every water resource related work effort. To assess the current and future state of water supplies in a region, a hydrologic analysis is performed. A hydrologic analysis is an evaluation of the relationship between surface waters and the various components of the hydrologic cycle. Hydrologic analyses may serve one or more of several purposes, such as: • Determining the water balance of a region • Mitigating and predicting flood, landslide, and drought risk • Predicting geomorphological changes, such as erosion or sedimentation • Assessing the impacts of environmental change on water resources Hydrologic analysis may include any of the following parts: • Estimating basin evapotranspiration • Estimating lake and reservoir evaporation • Evaluation of streamflow data • Flow frequency analysis • Interpretation o...
