Document Description
The 2009 Drought Water Bank Program is a one-year transfer program to obtain water from willing sellers upstream of the Delta for sale to water users experiencing shortages due to extreme drought conditions and regulatory pumping curtailments. The San Luis Water District proposes to acquire Drought Water Bank supplies via an argument with the San Luis and Delta Mendota Water Authority which for the benefit of its member agencies has entered into an agreement with Department of Water Resources for the purchase of Drought Water Bank supplies.
