Document Description
The Sutter Extension Water District (SEWD) proposes to sell up to 15,220 acre-feet (AF) of water to the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD), or other South of Delta purchasers, including one or more Central Valley Project contractors, or a buyer diverting the transfer water from within or upstream of the Delta (collectively, “Buyers”) during the 2023 irrigation season. As a willing seller, SEWD would make up to 15,220 AF of water available to Buyers by idling cropland (i.e., non-irrigation of farmland by voluntary participants) and through groundwater substitution (i.e., using groundwater supplies instead of surface water supplies). SEWD's proposed transfer will comply with the current draft Technical Information for Preparing Water Transfer Proposals, dated December 2019 (Draft Technical Information), prepared by the Department of Water Resources (DWR) and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation).
