) ~ NOTES:
1) It Is assumed that Lake Canal direct flow right will be the
) - water source during May and June In an average year.
2) It Is assumed that reservoir water or well water will be the
water source after July 1st and into August and September.
3) As a practical matter, Lake Canal shuts down for the year at
) October 1 st so no delivery is possible after that date.
) - Hence, waler requirement for October is not included in
) analysis. Most landscape irrigation systems are winterized
by Oct. 10th.
