Water applications are largely in, with total enrolled acreage at approximately 131,765 acres as of April 1. Rice acreage sits near 99,400 acres (roughly 99,835 with in-basin transfers), and orchard crops total around 20,000 acres — all closely tracking 2025 numbers. About 700 acres of checks are still outstanding. Early water orders are coming in, though staff noted it is still too early to predict when demand will ramp up significantly.
