Text Box: Notes: 1. Under SWRCB Order No. WR 95-10, Cal-Am is limited to 11,285 acre-feet of diversions from the Carmel River Basin. 2. Under the current MPWMD water supply budget, Cal-Am is limited to 4,000 acre-feet of diversions from the coastal subareas of the Seaside Ground Water Basin. This level of diversions is consistent with SWRCB Order No. WR 95-10, which directed Cal-Am to maximize its production from the Seaside Basin within the estimated long-term yield of the basin. 3. District-wide, Cal-Am's main system is limited to 15,285 acre-feet of diversions. 4. Carmel River diversions are reduced for diversions that are injected into the Seaside Ground Water Basin. During WY 2005, no water has been diverted from the Carmel River Basin for injection into the Seaside Ground Water Basin.
