Stored water would be delivered to CCWA in any year that CCWA requires the supplies. Stored water would be delivered to CCWA through direct recovery from the Strand Ranch and/or exchange. The remaining 50% of banked water after proportional and applicable losses shall be transferred to MWDSC for mutual use of MWDSC and IRWD. CCWA's request for delivery by exchange shall take place prior to the end of the fifth calendar year subsequent to the recharge of the water.
