U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. Letter describing Conservation and other accomplishments under YRBWEP. September 4, 2015
Note: The 1994 law called for (within 8 years of enactment) 165,000 acre feet of annual water conservation. In this letter, BuRec reports that after 22 years it had accomplished a total of 53,000 acre-feet of water conservation (40,000 acre-feet for instream flows, and 13,000 acre-feet for irrigation use) or less than 1/3 of the YRBWEP water conservation target. The Bureau explains that water conservation targets are only “voluntary.” Conservation grant monies remain available and unspent (after FY 2017 still $209 million available to be spent into the future).
