Water Banking System Overhaul Approved: The Board approved a major change to how previously banked water is tracked and managed, accepting a technical analysis showing only 53% of historically banked water actually remains in the basin due to losses to adjacent basins and streams. This represents a significant reduction from what agencies previously thought they had banked - for example, if an agency thought they had 100 acre-feet banked, they now have credit for only 53 acre-feet. The Board also approved immediately piloting a new Water Accounting System while freezing the old Water Accounting Framework.
