1. January Water Deliveries Significantly Above Normal Despite Uncertain Year Ahead The District delivered 47,132 acre-feet in January (39,540 AF from Friant, 7,600 AF from Tule), which represents a 69% delivery rate in January, compared to the District's long-term January delivery rate of about 30% when it runs in January. Of the total deliveries, 20,000 AF was sold to growers for direct application, 10,107 AF went into basins for groundwater recharge, and a substantial portion of the basin water will become groundwater credits for future use. However, General Manager Limas cautioned that while precipitation is near average, snow water content is significantly below average, meaning the summer reservoir (snowpack) is depleted and much of the precipitation came as rain rather than snow.
