BEAUMONT BASIN WATERMASTER
MEMORANDUM NO. 19-17
Date: August 7, 2019
From: Hannibal Blandon, ALDA Inc.
Subject: A Comparison of Production and Allowable Extractions through
June 2019
Recommendation: No recommendation - For informational purposes only.
The purpose of this Technical Memorandum is to present a comparison of production
rights from the basin against actual production by Appropriators. Production rights consist
of the sum of Unused Production by Overlying Users from 2014 transferred to
Appropriators for 2019 and Imported Water Spreading. This sum is compared against
actual production through June 2019. It should be noted that 2019 is the first year in which
the Transfer of Overlying Rights were derived from the current basin safe yield of 6,700
ac-ft/yr.
During the first six months of the year a total of 5,304 ac-ft of water were produced from
the basin by the Appropriators while 6,153 ac-ft of imported water were spread at the
Noble Creek spreading grounds. Unused production by Overlying users for 2014 was
estimated at 4,481 ac-ft. The table below presents the above comparison for all
Appropriators; all numbers shown in ac-ft, except as noted.
