This project was implemented with funding of -$285,000 each from BOR and WSRA. <br />Twelve of the 15 new dcps are in the study area, substantially improving the areal extent of data <br />collection points, specifically at higher elevations. This is an example of the benefit of past <br />WSRA investments in water projects in the basin. <br />The study has wide support in the basin. We have received more than 30 letters of support from <br />consumptive and non-consumptive water users including those whose main interest is irrigation, <br />municipal water use, economic development, recreation, and resource management. The District's in-kind <br />contribution related to providing gage data is valued at $24,220, bringing the total project to $431,000. <br />Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely <br />Ralp "Terry" L.
