Water Availability and Sustainability -this information is needed to assess the viability and effectiveness <br />of the water project or activity. Please provide a description of each water supply source to be utilized <br />for, or the water body to be affected by, the water activity. For water supply sources being utilized, <br />describe its location, yield, extent of development, and water right status. For water bodies being <br />affected, describe its location, extent of development, and the expected effect of the water activity on the <br />water body, in either case, the analysis should take into consideration a reasonable range of hydrologic <br />variation. <br />This work is intended to support development of arrangements which would involve management of <br />current irrigation water, for transfer to different agricultural applications, environmental and <br />recreational applications, including local amenity and quality of life applications, and in largest <br />proportion, applications for municipal use. Although the bodies or supplies of water involved in the <br />variety of potential arrangements cannot be identified before discussion of those arrangements, the <br />18 <br />
