<br /> <br />conserving water through the lining of irrigation <br />canals are region specific. Conservation measures <br />in the Sacramento Valley may not create new water <br />for transfer if much of the irrigated area overlies a <br />usable groundwater basin and is part of the drain- <br />age water supplied to downstream users. Water that <br />leaks from irrigation canals in the Sacramento Valley <br />and much of the San Joaquin Valley provides usable <br /> <br />groundwater, feeds wetlands areas, and/or nourishes <br />riparian vegetation. <br /> <br />Transferable water also can come from surtace flow <br />stored in a reservoir and not released had the transfer <br />not occurred. This would create a transfer of new <br />water if the reservoir withdrawal is subsequently <br />replaced by surplus water. <br /> <br /> porary diversion and use of water under 1988 IID/MWD conservation agreement that, in <br /> urgent conditions (Water Code Sections effect, transfers 106,000 acre-feet of water <br /> 1425.1431). annually for 35 years from liD to MWD. <br />1976 Governor's Commission on Water Rights State legislation is passed authorizing <br /> report is released, prompting changes to the procedures for changes in post-1914 wa- <br /> state Water Code to protect water rights of ter rights permits for the purpose of water <br /> persons transferring water. transfers (Water Code Section (1725-37), <br />1980 State legislation is passed declaring that it is 1991 LADWP and lnyo County agree to coop- <br /> state policy to facilitate water transfers and eratively manage the Owens Valley water <br /> that the transfer of water or water rights shall resources.
