This shift in perspectives and policy has <br />provided opportunities for contributing to solutions with concepts such as lower priority <br />urban users participating with higher priority agricultural users to finance the <br />implementation of extra-ordinary water conservation programs. These programs include <br />extra-ordinary conservation measures (1988 & 1998 lID agreements), agreements to fallow <br />a portion of a district's irrigated lands during dry years (1992 & proposed 2003 PVID- <br />MWD Agreements), off-stream storage (2000 Agreement between Southern Nevada and <br /> <br />~Jf~t <br />\Y eP~l <br />~C;V <br />.\' <br />~ <br />~ <br /> <br />16 <br />
