Production Estimation for Un-metered Overlying Producers
of water required for landscape use; an irrigation efficiency of 70 percent is then used to
estimate the volume of water pumped.
Agricultural water use was limited to the operations of the former Sunny-Cal Egg and
Poultry Company. The approach considers the water consumption of chickens and the
amount of water used for washing ranch facilities. A water consumption rate of 60
gallons per day per 1,000 chickens was used, based on published daily nutritional
requirements. Water for washing of ranch facilities was considered to be equal to the
amount use for landscape irrigation on a per acre basis.
Estimated Water Production
The estimate of groundwater production from un-metered Overlying Users is presented for each
user in the tables attached. It should be noted that very small differences exists between the
amounts published in previous reports and the numbers presented here. The differences are
based on the evapotranspiration values obtained from the CIMIS station; some published values
currently used were slightly different than those used in the past for selected months.
