1990s-2000s - Water Augmentation Plan Created and Implemented

In the 1990s and 2000s, the District focused on creating and adjudicating an augmentation plan to provide water to offset otherwise out of priority diversions, which were injuring water rights in the basin. Providing water to others is prescribed by The Water Conservancy Act, which allows conservancy districts to acquire and develop water rights. The District’s augmentation plan provides water supply for its members’ use and protects the river and the senior water rights diverting from it.
