Specific Agreement on the Water Conservation Element for Municipal and Industrial Uses Sample Clauses

Specific Agreement on the Water Conservation Element for Municipal and Industrial Uses. All signatories will support and, where appropriate, participate in the Water Conservation Element as set forth above and as described in its water conservation plans negotiated for the Water Forum Agreement. Purveyors’ water conservation plans are incorporated as Appendix J to this Water Forum Agreement and are on file at the Water Forum office. AGRICULTURAL WATER CONSERVATION In 1990, agriculture in Sacramento County contributed to nearly 48% of the water demand for the area. It is projected that the future water demand for agriculture will drop to approximately 29% by 2030. This is due to a number of reasons including the conversion of agricultural land to urban uses as anticipated by the adopted General Plans. Another reason for water use reduction is that agriculture in Sacramento County is projected to become more water efficient. By the year 2030 irrigation efficiencies are expected to increase by 5%. The amount of water used by agriculture is determined by the crops grown, the type of irrigation system, and the incentives or regulations in place to increase irrigation efficiencies. In the northwest section of Sacramento County the principal crop is rice. Water is supplied by the Natomas Central Mutual Water Company (NCMWC) which is a Central Valley Project (CVP) contractor. NCMWC has been conserving water since 1986 through the installation of recirculation systems which reduce water diversions while growing the same amount of crops. These systems have reduced water use in rice fields by 26%. In the future, NCMWC will continue to conserve surface water by conjunctive use. By pursuing this additional method, it is expected that another 5% could be saved. Other efforts, such as lined canals in xxxxx soil, tiered pricing, and other controls are expected to gain additional efficiencies. In the southern section of Sacramento County, water is supplied principally through the pumping of groundwater. One incentive to reduce agricultural water use in this area has been the cost of electricity to pump groundwater. Since the early 1950’s the south County agricultural irrigation districts (Galt, Clay, Omochumne-Hartnell) have been practicing water conservation by installing recirculating systems so water would not be lost at the end of the fields and drip irrigation systems for certain row crops. It is estimated that these methods have reduced water use by up to 50% compared to field irrigation. By implementing additional conservation measures it is expected t...
