1. June Irrigation Season Tracking Close to Projections; Surface Water Dominates Supply Total water resources for June came in at just under 89,000 acre-feet, with 94% delivered as surface water (~84,000 AF) and only 6% from groundwater/rented pumping (~5,000 AF). Turlock Lake releases were close to the projected 84,000 AF. July is expected to be the highest-demand month, with releases averaging over 97,000 AF and likely approaching 100,000 AF this year. Total pumping averages ~14,000 AF in July but could be lower given recent wet-year trends.
