DWR Announces Initial 2007 State Water Project Allocation.SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The Department of Water Resources has announced its initial allocation The apportionment or designation of an item for a specific purpose or to a particular place. In the law of trusts, the allocation of cash dividends earned by a stock that makes up the principal of a trust for a beneficiary usually means that the dividends will be treated as for water delivery to the State Water Project (SWP SWP Socialist Workers Party SWP Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik (German Institute for International Politics and Security) SWP Swap File (extension) SWP State Water Project ) Contractors in calendar year 2007. The initial allocation is 60 percent of Contractors' requested amounts, or 2,465,529 acre-feet, and may increase during the winter months. This is slightly more than the initial allocation for calendar year 2006 of 55 percent and, since most of the period of heavy precipitation precipitation, in chemistry precipitation, in chemistry, a process in which a solid is separated from a suspension, sol, or solution.

Hydrologic conditions this year are similar to last year with the SWP coming off a wet year with high storage. The 2006 allocation was later raised to 100 percent of Contractors' Table "A" amounts, as a result of last year's wet conditions. SWP water is distributed among 29 long-term SWP Contractors who serve more than 23 million Californians and about 750,000 acres of irrigated farmland. In making this allocation of State Water Project water, a major source of water for many Californians, the Department considered a conservative projection of hydrology hydrology, study of water and its properties, including its distribution and movement in and through the land areas of the earth. The hydrologic cycle consists of the passage of water from the oceans into the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration (or , State Water Project operational constraints CONSTRAINTS - A language for solving constraints using value inference.

SWP Contractors' Table A water for 2007 totals 4.13 million acre-feet, of which 4.07 million acre feet were requested. Table A water is the maximum contractual amount that SWP Contractors can request each year. The Department will revise the allocation as hydrologic and water supply conditions develop and provide for additional deliveries.
