recovery, water conservation, and
temporary land fallowing for transfer
and/or exchange of substitute water to

contractors for existing municipal and

Project (SWP) contractors for
agricultural and/or M&I uses, or to some
combination of these users. The Bureau
of Reclamation (Reclamation), MidPacific Region; CVP and SWP
contractors; and the Exchange
Contractors would execute agreements
for water transfers for water service
years 2014 to 2038. A similar 10-year

agricultural water users that would
benefit from the potential transfers are
located in the counties of Stanislaus,
