BEAUMONT BASIN WATERMASTER
MEMORANDUM NO. 19-11
Date: March 27, 2019
From: Hannibal Blandon, ALDA Inc.
Subject: Certification of Groundwater Production and Imported Water Use
During Calendar Year 2018
Recommendation: That the Watermaster Committee certifies the groundwater
production, imported water spreading, and change in storage in
the Beaumont Groundwater Basin for Calendar Year 2018.
By April 1, of every year, the Beaumont Basin Watermaster is required to fill out an on-
line form with the State of California Department of Water Resources (DWR) documenting
the use of water in the basin during the previous year. As part of the documentation
required, a PDF copy of the Final Annual Report is normally attached.
Considering the 2018 Final Annual Report of the Beaumont Basin will not be ready until
the June meeting, at the earliest, DWR indicated that the on-line forms can still be filled
out and submitted to the state before the April 1 deadline. DWR requested that a formal
st
letter from the Watermaster be attached documenting the production, storage, and
imported water use quantities used in the form for 2018 are accurate and that a copy of
the final annual report be submitted at a later date.
The information presented below was extracted from the draft report after comments were
incorporated. This information can be used to fill out the on-line form on DWR’s website.

o Total groundwater production: 17,247 ac-ft
