This decree awarded the right to measure up to an additional 56,325 acre-feet of water into Riverside Reservoir for the purpose of refilling it, subject to the capacity of the reservoir and its inlet canal, to be diverted through the inlet canal at a rate not to exceed 1,000 cfs. This refill decree shares a common priority date with several other refill decrees in Water District No. 1. The amount of water diverted pursuant to the Headley Re- charge and Augmentation Project which is stored in Riverside Reservoir in any water year shall be deducted from the amount of water that could otherwise have been diverted pursuant to the most senior priority of those listed in subparagraph C.(1). through (4) above, that has not been fully satisfied during that same water year and which would have otherwise been in priority and operating at the time such water was diverted and stored. 29. Limitations oa diversions and releases: Riverside and the Bank may only divert water pursuant to the water rights for the recharge ponds for the Headley Recharge and Augmentation Project if there is storage capacity available in the Recharge Ponds for the water diverted at the Riverside Canal headgate at the time of the diversion; provided, however, that Riverside and the Bank may temporarily hold water diverted for the Headley Recharge and Augmentation Project in Riverside or Wildcat Reservoir, as described above, prior to releasing the water to the Recharge Ponds. Riverside and the Bank shall not be permitted to release water out of Riverside or Wildcat Reservoir for use in the Headley Recharge and Augmentation Project under any priority other than those awarded in Case No. 90-CW-189. 30. Determination of recharge credits: In order to accurately determine the amount and rate of recharge into the underlying alluvial aquifer, the following rates and volumes must be quantified: A. Deliveries from the Riverside system; B. Losses in the Riverside Canal from the Bruce Weir to Antelope Draw; and losses in Antelope Draw to the Recharge Ponds;
