The draft study was prepared by the District's Water Resources Unit under the <br />authority and direction of the Board of Directors' Water Transfer Study Group, as part of <br />the board approved "1 O-Step Process." The Group has reviewed the draft report and <br />approved it for presentation to the full Board. <br /> <br />The "1 O-Step Process" recognizes that there is a growing demand for long-term, reliable <br />water supplies in Southern California. The information presented herein is intended to <br />provide the basis from which policy decisions can be made regarding, for instance, how <br />much water can be transferred and what type of projects may be included in a water <br />conservation and transfer program. <br /> <br />This draft study concludes that, if adequate funds are made available by users outside of <br />Imperial Valley, a variety of water conservation opportunities exist. Although the <br />conservation methods identified in this study are a good representative sample of the <br />opportunities available, they do not cover every on-farm method that might be available. <br />Moreover, this study does not quantify the water conservation potential from crop <br />rotation, idling or fallowing of farmland. <br /> <br />Comments and questions regarding the contents of the report will be received by the <br />Study Group in writing, or interested parties may schedule attendance at a regular <br />meeting of the group at 339-9426. In addition, presentations have been scheduled for <br />the next six weeks to civic clubs, cities, county and other interested groups. Questions <br />will be addressed at that time. <br /> <br />After public review and comment period, a final version will be prepared for Board <br />approval. <br /> <br />U:WRASWPD <br />Ih <br /> <br />
