The assesment <br />will be based on the amount of water pumped each year, and the money collected wiD be <br />held in an account which will be used solely for the purchase of water rights. <br />In its original proposal to the CWCB, AGUA outlined briefly the tasks which will <br />be required for a successfullong-tenn plan of augmentation. These tasks are outlined in <br />greater detail below. <br /> <br />Task 1: Expand the computer model to estimate the amount and timing of augmentation <br />water required by AQUA based on the new rules and previous pumping records. <br /> <br />Priorities: 1. Software upgrade: <br />In September of 1995. AGUA started using the Microsoft Office <br />suite to integrate its data management tasks. The Excel <br />spreadsheet, Access database. and Word word processor have <br />allow us to use the state database file formats to prepare reports, <br />queries, and to prepare data tables from multiple files. Because we <br />have integrated data management in this manner, preparation of <br />data for the feasibility study will not require redundancy of data <br />entry. No special program development has been required, since the <br />software is designed to use Windows technology. <br /> <br />2, Data Collection, Entry, and Verification: <br />Some of AGUA's existing member files have been found to be <br />incomplete or in error. We have reviewed the paper files and are <br />responding to aU state requests for information when discrepancies <br />are found. We are in the process of reviewing and updating all the <br />computer files. <br /> <br />Cost to date: AGUA has spent apprO'timately $3000 implementing the changes. <br /> <br />Task 2: Estimate the amount of augmentation water required by each well in the <br />association, <br /> <br />Analysis: <br />This will be the most critical element of developing a successful long term <br />augmentation plan. Many current members of AGUA will be able to use the power <br />coefficient method to calculate their pumping from previous years. based on <br />electrical power records, Helton and Williamson have supplied AGUA with power <br />records from the electrical utility companies within AGUA's membership area. <br />Although the data will not be useful for all of the wells in AGUA, it will help us <br />establish a better understanding of the range of annual pumping we might expect. <br /> <br />P.04 <br />
