Implementation of the Colorado River Water Quantification Settlement Agreement

Implementation of the Colorado River Water Quantification Settlement Agreement

The proposed agreement consists of detailed implementation components that are the outcome of the October 15, 1999 Key terms for Quantification Settlement. The Key Terms identify a wide scope of activities that include: Further quantification of certain entitlements to use of California's apportionment of Colorado River water. Modification of agreements with respect to existing water management programs. Implementation of new water management programs, including facility improvements, groundwater conjunctive use, water conservation programs, transfers and exchanges. Support for improved reservoir management and operations. The program evaluated in this initial study is the implementation of the agreement through specific program components and agreements. No site-specific facilities or construction would occur solely as a result of this program.
