摘要

The South-of-Delta (SOD) CVP agricultural allocation for 2012 is at 40% (Reclamation, 2012a). As a result, SOD water contractors have a need to find alternative sources of water to not only fulfill 2012 demands, but to prepare for demands going into 2013. The proposed transfers would allow water districts and landowners greater flexibility to manage limited water supplies during summer months in these years.
