15. Funding $$$$

16. Financing/ Water Project Loans • Low Interest Loans for Water Projects (2.75% for ag) • Rehabilitation • Dam Safety Restrictions • New or Increased Storage • Purchase of Water Rights • 424 Project Authorized Since 1971 • $704M in Loan Funds Approved To-date • 50 Projects in Design/Const. - $331M

17. CWCB’s Funds $0 Construction Fund & General Fund $ Severance Tax Trust Fund Perpetual Base Account CWCB is Self-Supporting

18. CWCB REVOLVING FUNDS • Construction Fund – Principal & Interest from Loans, Treasury Interest & Federal Mineral Lease. • Severance Tax Perp. Base Fund Principal & Interest from Loans, Treasury Interest, and 25% of all Severance Tax.

19. Legislative Cash Transfers $130M transferred FY09/10

22. Program Impacts - CWCB • No New Loans 2010, 2011, - ? • No New Statewide or Basin Grants • No New Studies • Compact Compliance • Limited Resources for Satellite Monitor and Stream Gauge Monitoring and Decision Support System

23. Program Impacts – (SEO) • Stream Gauge Monitoring Program at Risk • Reduced SEO Funding Levels: • 2,900 Dams/Reservoir – 1,904 Jurisdictional • 118,000 AF of Restricted Storage Statewide • 243 SWSP’s reviewed 2008 • 5,600 Well Permit Applications Reviewed • 1,174 Small/Large Capacity Well Permits Issue • Adm. of 14M AF of Annual Surface Diversions

24. Other Funding Options • Water and Power Development Authority • USDA Rural Development • Natural Resources Conservation Service • Department of Local Affairs • Federal Projects

25. Summary • Water shortage is not just a 2030/50 Issue • Conservation, Re-use, Alt. Transfer Methods • Additional Storage • Rehabilitation of Existing Infrastructure • Funding and Impacts • Get Involved
