RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Receive an updated presentation on Drought and Water Supply conditions.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
This informational report provides an update to current drought conditions in the Colorado
Basin, California and the San Diego region. The report will also discuss potential water supply
cutbacks and provide information related to the desalination project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Several factors can influence revenue received by the District. These include water supply
reductions, wet weather seasons, etc. Staff will monitor and analyze these, and other potential
scenarios, throughout the year to determine financial impacts to the District.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
Delta smelt, a species listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, have been
impacted by State Water Project pumping. Recently, a U.S. District Judge has ordered the
reduction of pumping by the State Water Project and/or the release of more water upstream of
the State Water Project pumps in an attempt to establish temporary guidelines for the protection
of the delta smelt and other fish species.
The delta smelt are found in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta in Northern California
and the actions related to the reduction in State Water Project pumping do not have a direct
local impact for Carlsbad.
EXHIBITS:
None
