Briefing, in preparation

Sites Reservoir water rights proceedings

A conciseVerbosity briefing on the State Water Board proceedings for the Sites Project Authority’s water right: what was applied for, what was protested, what the hearing decided, and what the terms mean for diverters upstream and downstream on the Sacramento River.

What this briefing will cover

The application and its points of diversion, the protests and how they were resolved, the hearing record, the permit terms (season of diversion, bypass flows, Delta conditions), and how the new right sits on the Sacramento River seniority ladder. It will be published in two editions: one for water suppliers and agriculture, one for the public with the other parties’ positions.

Research has not started. Nothing on this page is a finding.
