MWD' s available supply includes its own priority 4 entitlement under the seven <br /> <br />party agreement, the amount conserved through core conservation programs that have <br /> <br />been implemented on a phased approach, and any unused apportionment from higher <br /> <br />priority California users. The actual surplus, i.e. the amount of delivery above 7.5 maf to <br /> <br />the Lower Basin, would also be reduced to the extent there is Arizona or Nevada unused <br /> <br />basic apportionment.
