needs projected to occur for 2020 and beyond.<br />
CONSERVATION RECOMMENDATIONS<br />
Conservation strategies for municipal and irrigation water users represent 19 percent of the total volume of<br />
water associated with all recommended strategies in 2060. Municipal water conservation was recommended<br />
for every municipal and county-other water user group with a need. Irrigation conservation is planned to be<br />
accomplished through an irrigation canal lining strategy.<br />
