Not later than the second Tuesday in February each year the board shall order an engineering survey and report to be made regarding the ground water supplies of the district. The same shall include, among all other information and data which the board may require, the following:

(a) Records, data and other information for the consideration of the board in its determination of the annual overdraft.

Terms Used In California Water Code 71685

  • Accumulated overdraft: means the aggregate amount, as determined from time to time by the board, by which the quantity of ground water removed by any natural or artificial means from the ground water supplies within the district during all preceding water years shall have exceeded the quantity of nonsaline water replaced therein by the replenishment of such ground water supplies in such water years by any natural or artificial means, the respective determination to be based upon reports, records, and other data or evidence found by the board to be adequate for the purpose of making such determination. See California Water Code 71683
  • Annual overdraft: means the amount, as determined by the board, by which the quantity of ground water removed by any natural or artificial means from the ground water supplies within the district during the water year exceeds the quantity of nonsaline water replaced therein by the replenishment of such ground water supplies in such water year by any natural or artificial means other than replensihment under the provisions of this article or by any other governmental agency or entity. See California Water Code 71683
  • Ground water: means nonsaline water beneath the surface of the ground, whether or not flowing through known and definite channels. See California Water Code 71683
  • Makeup water: means water of useable quality for ground water recharge required to be delivered to downstream users pursuant to a court judgment. See California Water Code 71683
  • water: includes potable water and nonpotable water. See California Water Code 71611
  • Water year: means the period commencing on October 1st of one calendar year and ending on September 30th of the calendar year immediately following. See California Water Code 71683

(b) Records, data and other information for the consideration of the board in its determination of the accumulated overdraft as of the last day of the preceding water year.

(c) A report, with supporting data, as to the total production of ground water from the ground water supplies within the district during the preceding water year.

(d) A report, with supporting data, as to the changes during the preceding water year in the ground water levels and pressure levels or piezometric heights of the ground water contained within pressure-level areas of the district, and as to the effects thereof upon the ground water supplies within the district.

(e) An estimate of the annual overdraft for the current water year and for the ensuing water year.

(f) An estimate of the accumulated overdraft as of the last day of the current water year.

(g) An estimate of the total production of ground water from the ground water supplies within the district for the current water year and for the ensuing water year.

(h) An estimate of the changes during the current water year in the ground water levels, pressure levels or piezometric heights of the ground water contained within pressure-level areas of the district, and of the effects thereof upon the ground water supplies and makeup water requirements of the district.

(i) An estimate of the quantity, source, and cost of water available for replenishment of the ground water supplies and meeting the makeup water requirements of the district during the ensuing water year under the provisions of Section 71687.

(j) Records, data, estimates and other information for the consideration of the board in its determination of the makeup water requirements for the preceding, current and ensuing water years.
