Irrigated acreage and water consumption under the <br /> <br /> <br />senior decrees will not increase due to the changes in use. <br /> <br />Golf Course and Country Club Water Supply <br /> <br />Golf course and landscaping irrigation water will be provided through <br /> <br /> <br />diversions at the Zapata pipeline. as well as through diversions through <br /> <br /> <br />more shallow wells. In the early part of the season (April through mid- <br /> <br /> <br />August) sufficient surface water will be available to provide for golf <br /> <br />course irrigation. In the late season (mid-August through October). <br /> <br /> <br />especially in years of below-average water availability. water for <br /> <br /> <br />irrigation may be in short supply. During these periods. water needs for <br /> <br />the golf course will be provided through the shallow wells. <br /> <br />Water supply for the country club and residential facilities will be <br />provided through shallow wells. Existing smal1-capacity wells will be <br />used when possible. The permits for three of the existing wells which may <br />be used are inc luded in Appendix D. New permits will be sought for the <br />existing wells. allowing their use for the proposed development under the <br />augmentation plan,. <br /> <br />R.echarge Plan <br /> <br />To allow shallow well diversions during the mid-August through October <br /> <br /> <br />period. water will be recharged to the shallow aquifer at one or more of <br /> <br />the locations shown on Figure 3. Water for recharge is available due to <br /> <br /> <br />dry-up of about 32 acres of formerly-irrigated cropland within the <br /> <br />boundaries of the golf course. These lands constitute the "rough" areas. <br /> <br />lying between fairways. greens. and other irrigated landscaping. Table 11 <br /> <br />outlines the balance between historic and future uses. and shows that <br /> <br /> <br />almost 40 acre-feet per year is available for recharge. over and above <br /> <br /> <br />the approximately 145 acre-feet per year required for golf course and <br /> <br />country club consumptive uses. <br /> <br />- 22 - <br />
