Additional Beneficial Water Release Opportunities
Year Operation Benefit
Normal Release additional water during and after conservation period.
- Recharges aquifer - Surface supply to future projects - Augments supply to SRDF - Enhances aquatic environment
Dry Release additional water during conservation period and later if water available
- Recharges aquifer in driest season - Surface supply to future projects - Possible augmentation of supply to
SRDF - Enhances aquatic environment
Wet Hold water to release in the fall (Oct. – Dec.)
- Recharges upper aquifer after irrigation and summer season
- Surface supply to future projects - Contributes to recharging lower
aquifer. - Extends supply and operation of
SRDF. 24

• Similar in plan and structure to 218 financing for the Salinas Valley Water Project – Zone 2C
• Assessment formulas based on proportional weighting of:
– Active / Passive land use factors
– Special benefits from project

Water Rights
• Water is rediverted from Nacimiento through the tunnel for storage in San Antonio – Rediverted water only counts once for diversion (at Nacimiento)
– Rediverted water potentially counts twice for storage (depending on operations)
• Existing water rights at Nacimiento and San Antonio are not affected by the operation of the tunnel
• Operation of the tunnel optimizes total reservoir storage without affecting water rights
• Reducing spills from Nacimento enhances water conservation and reduces the waste of water
