The 25,400 AF of Projec~ water <br />currently reserved by the United Sta~es for downstream fish and wildlife <br />purposes would share shortages equally with Project irrigation water. <br />The 3,900 AF of water to be acquired from OWeD would share shor~ages. <br />The water required to satisfy senior downstream water rights (up to <br />3,900 AF) would be regula~ed by the State priority system. Whether <br />additional acquired water would share in shortages would depend on its <br />origin. For example, ac~~ired Project irrigation wa~er wo~ld share i~ <br />shor~ages, while acquired Project municipal and industrial water would <br />not be subject to shortages. Acquired non-Project water would be <br />regulated by the State priority system. <br /> <br />:2 .
