Perhaps most important:. <br />CNA has discontinued maintenance of the canal system. <br /> <br />The current method being used to consolidate the remaining irrigated area within the <br />Compaction Zone is to encourage the sale and transfer of water rights from parcels outside the zone <br />to parcels within the zone. There is, however, a shortage of good quality land within the <br />Compaction Zone to accomplish additional water right transfers and relocations. This situation <br />provides a unique opportunity for implementing the recommendations in this report. Many isolated <br />parcels outside the Compaction Zone continue to have water rights. Several of these parcels were <br />identified as part of this report and are being considered for acquisition. <br /> <br />C. Determination of Water Duties <br /> <br />Historically, CNA allocated water rights in District 014 by assigning cropping patterns <br />throughout the area. Based upon national crop production priorities, and subject to the available <br />water supplies, an overall cropping pattern was established for District 014. The owners of <br />croplands were then given a cropping pattern for their individual parcels. 1bis process continued <br />through the year 2000. <br /> <br />For better management of water right exchanges and transfers, CNA is now proposing to <br />assign a uniform water duty to each parcel. The available duty for each parcel of water right land <br />would be 1.0 meter, about 3.1 acre-feet per acre after conveyance 10sses.13 The regulations needed <br />to make that change are now in the approval process. <br /> <br />Using the above described water duties, the overall supply and allocation of water in District <br />014 is as follows: <br /> <br />Water Supplies and Allocations <br />in District 014 <br /> <br />SourceiUse <br /> <br />Quantity <br />(AY/Yr.) <br /> <br />Sup.plies <br />Treaty , <br />Ground Water <br />Conveyance Losses <br />Net Avail.
