Document Description
The project consists of a one-year agreement to provide supplemental Central Valley Project (CVP) water supply of an estimated 17,680 acre-feet (approximately a 1% supply) to participating irrigation contractors within the San Luis and Delta-Mendota Water Authority in Fresno, Kings, Merced, San Benito, San Joaquin, and Stanislaus Counties, which have only a 45% allocation of CVP water. Conaway Preservation Group (CPG), as a result of crop shifting and idling, will forbear diversions of water under its Sacramento River Settlement Contract during July-October, which otherwise would be used on its lands. The forborne water will be delivered by Reclamation to the participating CVP irrigation contractors.
