1 Interbasin transfers conveying greater than 5,000 acre -feet are listed. Data are for 1985, except for Harold D. Roberts
Tunnel. This tunnel was closed during most of 1985 and delivered only 299 acre -feet, so the more representative value of
59,600 acre -feet for 1990 was used.
2Diversions greater than 50,000 acre -feet are listed. Data are for 1990.
3Reservoirs having normal capacity greater than 25,000 acre -feet are listed.
4Municipal discharges greater than 4,000 acre -feet are listed. Data are for 1990.
