Near-term Colorado River Operations Revised Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement

U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) | October 26th, 2023

Reclamation is proposing to revise the 2007 Interim Guidelines for the operation of Glen Canyon and Hoover Dams beginning in the 2024 operating year to address the potential for continued low-runoff conditions in the Colorado River Basin. The potential impacts of low runoff conditions in the remainder of the interim period (prior to January 1, 2027) pose unacceptable risks to routine operations of Glen Canyon and Hoover Dams; therefore, modified operating guidelines should be expeditiously developed. Due to size, this file has been divided. Part one, Part two.

Recent California Water Transfers: Implications for Water Management

Natural Resources Journal (University of New Mexico) | December 1st, 1995

Summary

The 1991 and 1992 California Drought Emergency Water Banks were the first large water transfer programs in the nation in which the State served as the predominant

The 1991 and 1992 California Drought Emergency Water Banks were the first large water transfer programs in the nation in which the State served as the predominant broker for water trades. Although the State-sponsored Water Banks have drawn widespread attention, there have been a great number of water transfers and exchanges taking place in California independently of the State. These non-State transfers illustrate well the widespread applicability of transfers in managing water resource systems, as well as the multiple mechanisms available for effecting water transfers. This paper focuses on California's recent experiences with water transfers, and offers a series of potential lessons for federal, state, and local managers for integrating water transfers in regional water resource systems.

The Role of Water Transfers in Meeting California's Water Needs

Legislative Analyst's Office (LAO) | September 9th, 2008

Summary

If water transfers are to help the state meet its water needs, we think that the Legislature should address a number of issues, including impediments to transfers and stakeholder concerns about potential negative impacts of transfers on "third parties." Statutory policy on water transfers should be clarified and made more consistent.

Trading Sustainably: Critical Considerations for Local Groundwater Markets Under the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act

University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) | June 1st, 2017

Summary

The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), passed in 2014, is changing the way California manages its groundwater resources. SGMA calls for the creation of loc

The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), passed in 2014, is changing the way California manages its groundwater resources. SGMA calls for the creation of local Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs) and tasks them with developing and implementing Groundwater Sustainability Plans (GSPs) to achieve sustainable groundwater management. SGMA offers GSAs a broad palette of tools to choose from and significant flexibility to tailor their management activities to local conditions and needs. Because it allows GSAs to assign groundwater extraction allocations to pumpers and to authorize transfers of these allocations under certain circumstances, SGMA potentially opens the door for the development of local groundwater markets. In such a market, a willing seller might trade a portion of their groundwater extraction allocation to a willing buyer, allowing the buyer to pump groundwater in the seller’s stead.

Water transfers (Resource Management Strategy)

California Department of Water Resources (DWR) | July 29th, 2016

Summary

The California Water Code (CWC) defines a water transfer as a temporary or long-term change in the point of diversion, place of use, or purpose of use due to a transfer,

The California Water Code (CWC) defines a water transfer as a temporary or long-term change in the point of diversion, place of use, or purpose of use due to a transfer, sale, lease, or exchange of water or water rights. Temporary water transfers have a duration of one year or less (CWC Section 1725). Long-term water transfers have a duration of more than one year (CWC Section 1728). Transfers can be between water districts that are neighboring or across the state, provided there is a means to convey or store the water. A water transfer can be a temporary or permanent sale of water or a water right by the water right holder, a lease of the right to use water from the water right holder, or a sale or lease of a contractual right to water supply. Water transfers can also take the form of long-term contracts for the purpose of improving long-term supply reliability.

Water Transfers Brochure: Guidance and Information for Water Transfers

U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) | February 13th, 2014

Summary

The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) developed the Water Transfers Brochure (Brochure) to assist water purveyors in the preparation of water transfer and Warren Act proposals and documents. It is a “work in progress” that will be refined as necessary to adapt to changing circumstances or improve its utility, this Brochure provides general guidance on communicating, preparing, and submitting a proposal, as well as presenting estimated timelines for associated requirements, actions, and approvals. This Brochure is meant to increase the efficiency of the logistical and administrative processes that Reclamation and the transfer parties control and to further the goal of timely facilitation of water transfers that require conveyance through Central Valley Project (CVP) facilities or otherwise require Reclamation approval. This Brochure provides a framework and certain details of the processes; however, dependent on the transfer or Warren Act proposal, additional coordination or steps may be necessary to facilitate approval of a proposed action. Reclamation encourages all water purveyors to work closely with their designated Reclamation representative in developing transfer, exchange, and/or Warren Act proposals.
