Editor's Notes
- Legislation general discussion with Ryland and Tom.
- Abiltiy to leverage multiple funding sources, neutral convener, facilitator as well as buyer.
- Human patterns of use don’t necessary correspond to what’s needed for fish or even recreation. Balancing ag, growth, recreation fish.
- Water comes out the same as it went in – whatever is transferable stays transferable – new legislation reconfirms that Endangered Species Act ESA Bull Trout and Steelhead Clean Water Act 303(d) listings Bi-State basin Overappropriation of water rights Braided distributary river system Surface and groundwater connection
- Donations, choose to exercise or not
- Groups, individuals, basin type Flexibility for fish, people, agricuture. . .
- 32 ditch participant sharess – all in agreement so at one point you’re working with one entity Solar wells
- Talking points: Farms STILL farming Split season leases Corners (dry ground from introduction of circle pivot from flood) Rotational farming (Conner – leaves ~20 acres dry each season, rotates around over 30 yr lease)
- We have a development plan in place to phase in or move water from place to place
- Banks move water to where it is needed the most, in the Walla Walla the largest volume demand for water is for instream flows, mitigation for growth of new supplies is also in demand. Examples of waterbanks across the west, there are examples in most western states but many of the banks are relatively immature. The States with the most active banking programs are CA, AZ and ID. Yakima Basin waterbanking focuses on drought year leasing and benefit to instream flows. First bank in the state.
