• Gain <strong>of</strong> Local Supply Adjustment: This adjustment accounts for planned or<br />

scheduled gains in local supply production above the base period, which are not<br />

due to extraordinary actions to increase water supply in the allocation year.<br />

Gains <strong>of</strong> local supply include increases in groundwater production that do not<br />

result in the mining <strong>of</strong> a groundwater basin, new brackish water treatment<br />

facilities, or increases to surface water supplies due to changes in hydrology.<br />

These are considered planned and scheduled increases in local supply<br />

production, which are added to the base period local supplies.<br />

• Loss <strong>of</strong> Local Supply Adjustment: This adjustment accounts for losses <strong>of</strong> local<br />

supply production from the base period. Losses <strong>of</strong> local supply due to hydrology<br />

or water quality are subtracted from the Base Period Local Supplies. They<br />

cannot be used to cover IAWP shortages.<br />

• Extraordinary Increased Production Adjustment: This adjustment accounts for<br />

extraordinary increases in local supplies above the base period. Extraordinary<br />

increases in production include such efforts as purchasing transfers or mining <strong>of</strong><br />

groundwater basins. In order not to discourage such extraordinary efforts, only a<br />

percentage <strong>of</strong> the yield from these supplies is added back to Allocation Year<br />

Local Supplies in shortage level 3 and beyond as shown below. This has the<br />

effect <strong>of</strong> “setting aside” the majority <strong>of</strong> the yield for the agency who procured the<br />

supply. The percentage <strong>of</strong> the extraordinary increases in local supply<br />

corresponds according to the regional shortage level.<br />

Step 3 – Calculate Initial Minimum Allocation Based on Declared<br />

Shortage Level<br />

This step sets the initial allocation. After a regional shortage level is established,<br />

MWDOC will calculate the initial allocation as a percentage <strong>of</strong> adjusted Base Period<br />

Imported needs within the model for each client agency.<br />
