priority to the extent that space is available (space in the six

accounts that may be vacant) and release water whenever any

entity was able to store under its rights in their own space

allocation.

In Scenario B, those same six storage accounts included in

scenario A remain within the permanent pool and an additional

five storage accounts are located within the flood-control pool,

which rides on top of the permanent pool. The agencies operate

off the top or from the flood-control account first prior to

operating in the permanent pool. The State operates as in Sce-

nario A.

In Scenario C, there are no storage accounts in the

permanent pool. Rather, there are seven storage accounts (one

for each entity) for 2625 acre-feet, all located in the flood-

control pool. The State operates as in Scenario B.

Scenario D is the same as Scenario C, except that the State
