This document discusses water efficiency and treatment for chillers, data centers, and hospitals. It notes that current water practices are unsustainable given drought conditions, and that traditional water treatment focuses more on product sales than efficiency. A new approach called Nereus uses online monitoring of water chemistry and system performance to optimize cycles of concentration, minimize water and chemical use, reduce scaling and corrosion, and lower energy costs. Implementing this approach could save over 1 billion gallons per year across industries that rely on water-cooled chillers.
The primary raw materials used in the production of paper include pulp fiber, thermal and electrical energy, chemicals, and water. Increased profitability through cost savings can be realized through reductions in these key commodities.

- The northern Sierra snowpack is only 64% of normal for this time of year, reducing expected water supplies.
- The State Water Project initial allocation for 2016 is 10%, subject to change based on winter precipitation. Allocations have ranged from 5-65% in recent years.
- Local water storage levels and precipitation in the San Diego region are below normal levels due to ongoing drought conditions.
- Water use reductions under the state's emergency regulation have ranged from 2-13% across different local water agencies from June-October 2015. The state may extend mandatory conservation measures into 2016 if drought persists.
The document provides an update on water supply conditions and drought response activities from Dana Friehauf, Water Resources Manager. It includes information on precipitation levels in the Northern Sierra being at 95% of normal, snowpack levels being at 95% of normal, storage levels in Lake Oroville being at 51% of capacity and 74% of average, cumulative potable water use from June 2015-January 2016 being 23% lower than 2013, the outlook for March-May precipitation, an extension and potential adjustments to the State Water Resources Control Board's emergency regulation requiring at least 8% conservation through October 2016, and a new local drought-resilient supply credit as part of the regulation.

It outlines the Water Authority's analysis of the BDCP plan and environmental reviews over several years. Key questions are identified regarding project size, costs, water supply benefits for San Diego, and financial obligations. The Water Authority will continue engagement to ensure a cost-effective Delta solution that balances environmental and water supply needs and limits financial obligations proportionate to benefits received.
The document summarizes a presentation made to the Imported Water Committee about the Draft Implementing Agreement for the Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP). The Implementing Agreement describes the roles, responsibilities, and commitments for implementing the BDCP, including regulatory assurances, funding, and governance. It is required for the BDCP to receive permits as a Natural Community Conservation Plan and is a typical agreement for a Habitat Conservation Plan. Key topics covered in the presentation include regulatory assurances, funding obligations of permittees versus state/federal entities, governance structure, and decision making. Areas for public comment on the draft agreement are identified as governance, funding, regulatory assurances, adaptive management and future modifications, and water operations decision trees.
1. The BDCP is a massive infrastructure project that will be difficult to implement and costs are likely to increase.
2. How project costs are allocated among contractors and who will ultimately pay are important issues that could significantly impact water rates.
3. The San Diego County Water Authority's region has explored additional local projects that may help address supply impacts, but would come at a cost and allow more local control compared to relying on the BDCP.
This document provides an overview and agenda for an Imported Water Committee meeting regarding review of the Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP) documents. It summarizes prior board briefings on BDCP issues, the BDCP review process, the environmental review process for BDCP under CEQA and NEPA, and initial subject areas proposed for comment in a letter, such as governance, funding, economic analysis, and project risks. The staff recommendation is to authorize submitting a formal comment letter on the BDCP Draft EIR/EIS.
