<br />00'2555 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />t: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Central Valley Project. It is proposed to provide a supplemental <br />water supply to about 24,000 acres in Yolo County with water <br />pumped from the nearby Sacramento River. The area lies just <br />south of the lower end of the Sacramento Valley Canals service <br />area and could be served either by an enlargement and extension <br /> <br />of that system when and if built or by a single pumping system <br />for the lower portion of the long canal service area and the <br />Yolo-Zamora area. Proponents of extension of the long canal <br /> <br />requested that the hearing be held. Findings of the Bureau <br />that the pumping system recommended in the report would be less <br />costly and otherwise more desirable than either of the suggested <br />alternatives are now under review by the Department of Water <br />Resources. <br /> <br />* * * <br /> <br />After a promising November, it now appears likely <br />that California is in for a third year of less than average <br />water supply. Over the State, precipitation has been about <br />75% of normal to date, snowpack 55% of normal, water in storage <br />85% of average, and runoff 65% of average. A 70% of average <br />annual water supply is forecast for the 1960-61 water year. <br /> <br />I <br />j <br />j <br />1 <br /> <br />.-' ~ <br />, <br /> <br />.~ <br /> <br />/' <br /> <br />February 17, 1961 <br /> <br />-3- <br /> <br />, <br />~;, ':,_~ji;&~; <br /> <br />f '.' _,~ <br />~'ii <br />,,,k'" --" <br />
