COUNCIL/RDA MEETING DATE: April 15, 2003
ITEM TITLE:
Adoption of a Resolution Approving the Conceptual
Master Plan for the La Quinta Golf and Resort Project
RECOMMENDATION:
AGENDA CATEGORY:
BUSINESS SESSION:
CONSENT CALENDAR:
STUDY SESSION:
PUBLIC HEARING:
Adopt a Resolution of the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency approving a Conceptual
Master Plan for the La Quinta Golf and Resort Project.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None for this action. Phase I development of the plan to include one golf course and
attenuate infrastructure is estimated at $21.5 million.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
The Agency retained GMA International (GMA) in November 2002, to initiate the
formal planning process for the La Quinta Golf and Resort Project (i.e., The Ranch).
GMA reviewed the Agency's stated objectives for the property and prepared a
timeline schedule and process for development of a Conceptual Master Plan for the
site. Subsequently, on December 3, 2002, GMA met with the Agency to solicit more
specific direction relative to the preparation of the concept plan.
After receiving Agency direction, GMA and staff facilitated a public workshop on
January 29, 2003, with La Quinta residents to solicit citizen comment on planning
concepts. Additionally, a web site was developed to further facilitate public
participation in the planning process.
zs
GMA met with the Agency on February 18, 2003, to review public comment and
planning concepts and hear Agency Member thoughts specific to the preliminary draft
concept plan. GMA revised the plan in accord with Agency comment and reviewed
the plan again with the Agency on March 18, 2003. Additionally, staff summarized
the project's financial history, preliminary budgets and revenue potential with the
Agency on April 1, 2003.
The Conceptual Master Plan before the Agency today, and included as Attachment 1,
is a product of the public and Agency planning process outlined above. It is intended
as a conceptual plan and guide to future development of the site. If adopted, GMA
will prepare an "illustrative master plan package," including a vicinity map, the site
plan, color exhibits and a project image booklet. This package will be used by the
Agency and staff for promotional purposes as project implementation commences.
Implementation of the plan is currently envisioned as a phased development. The
Agency is considering retention of a Development Coordinator elsewhere on today's
agenda. Staff will work with the Development Coordinator to develop a specific work
program for this project. This work program will consider all aspects of Phase I
development to include construction, as well as preliminary promotional and marketing
activities. Specific to construction, staff anticipates that the Development Coordinator
will advise on all elements of golf course construction, including the timing of
improvements and the merits of alternative consultant/contractor selection procedures
for various project components (i.e., bidding, requests for proposals, sole sourcing,
etc.). In addition, staff will work with the Development Coordinator to create proper
scheduling and tracking mechanisms for Agency and staff monitoring of project
progress. Staff anticipates bringing this matter to the Agency for consideration May
20, 2003.
FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:
The alternatives available to the Redevelopment Agency include:
1. Adopt a Resolution of the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency approving a
Conceptual Master Plan for the La Quinta Golf and Resort Project ; or
2. Do not adopt a Resolution of the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency approving
a Conceptual Master Plan for the La Quinta Golf and Resort Project; or
3. Provide staff with alternative direction.

Re: "The Ranch" Non -Potable and Potable Water Demand &
Alternative Land Use Water Demand Comparison Analysis #7645E
Dear Gil,
Pacific Advanced Civil Engineering, Inc. (PACE, Inc.) has been retained by the City of La Quinta
through GMA, to provide water resources consulting services related to water demand analysis for the
proposed "Ranch" project. PACE has over 30 years of experience in the industry throughout the
Southwestern U.S. and specifically within the Coachella Valley.
As requested, PACE has completed an annual water (potable and non -potable) demand analysis for
the proposed "Ranch" project (525 AC). The analysis is based upon the proposed land use summary
(two 18-hole golf courses and hotel resort development) provided by GMA including breakdown of
varying landscaping demands, as well as, the resort hotel, restaurant and retail project components.
As shown on the attached bar graph chart and detailed summary spreadsheets, "The Ranch" project
has an estimated annual total demand of 2,650 acre-feet (AF) (made up of 2,400 AF non -potable and
250 AF potable demands). The above estimates are based upon utilizing non -potable sources (canal or
effluent water sources) for all project irrigation demands. The following alternative "Ranch" project land
use scenarios have also been evaluated to facilitate an alternative use water demand comparison:
1. Golf and traditional single-family residential development.
2. Traditional single-family residential development.
3. Various agricultural uses.
The total annual water demand (2,650 AF) for the "Ranch" project is very similar to the alternative land
use demands (2,650 and 2,350 AF). The primary difference is the "Ranch" project,minimization of
potable water demand (250 AF vs. 750 to 2,100 AF).
Based upon the above described analysis, it is apparent that the proposed "Ranch" project is a
responsible project relative to water usage. The "Ranch" project as proposed, will meet the criteria
established within the CVWD Water Management Plan based upon the following:
1. Reduction in golf course water demand of 10% to 15% (limit maximum turf area and
requires optimized irrigation system).
2. Minimize potable water (groundwater use) demands.

3. Require use of water (potable and non -potable) conserving plumbing fixtures (showers,
toilets, drip irrigation, etc.).
4. Maximize use of canal water for irrigation of resort and residential private and common
area irrigation,
As the project design is refined, the project water demand analysis will be updated and provided to
CVWD to confirm conformance to the Basin Management Plan requirements. We look forward to
presenting this information at the upcoming April 15, 2003 City Council meeting and to facilitating the
successful completion of this unique and exciting project. Please contact us at your convenience with
any questions or comments that you may have.

Water Demand Comparison Analysis Page 2 of 2
1. Reduce groundwater (potable) project demand to 11 % over overall project demand thus 89% of
project demand can be met by utilization of non -potable (canal/reclaimed water) supplies.
2. Newly constructed golf courses limit annual water usage to less than 900 acre feet (AF) per 18-
hole course.
3. Reduction in golf course water demand from traditional courses by 15 to 10% (1,060 AF/yr to
900 AF/yr.).
4. Establish and maintain maximum golf and other landscape area limits (acreage) and annual
water usage.
5. Proposed project includes no private (potable) landscape irrigation demand, all areas will be
irrigated from master irrigation system that is facilitating:
a. Efficient and advanced irrigation practices.
b. Use of non -potable sources (canal and reclaimed) for all irrigation demands.
6. Project will implement available water conservation measures:
a. Minimize turf and utilize more drought tolerant landscaping.
b. Optimize irrigation system design and efficiency.
c. Maximize tributary drainage area associated with lakes so as to capture maximum
amount of stormwater runoff to be used for irrigation.
d. Utilize water conserving plumbing fixtures and plumbing design advances.
7. All nuisance flows from onsite and offsite sources (excess irrigation runoff) will be routed to the
project lakes and captured for irrigation and lake water make-up supply. Thus, providing an
additional level of water conservation and reducing impact of irrigation inefficiency.
8. Project stormwater runoff water quality will be improved through the utilization of the
lakes/wetlands as stormwater treatment BMPs.
It has also come to our attention that there is concern about the water usage associated with the lakes.
We have designed and constructed lake systems throughout the southwestern U.S. and the world. Our
experience is that a properly designed lake system can assist in managing and containing a project's
water needs. Annual evaporation rate for shallow lakes has been thoroughly investigated and
documented by the National Weather Service. Typically, lake evaporation rate is similar to the irrigation
demand for turf (once you account for the annual rainfall and irrigation system efficiency reduction).
As the project design is refined, the project water demand analysis will be updated and provided to
CVWD to confirm conformance to the Basin Management Plan requirements. We look forward to
presenting this information at the upcoming April 15, 2003 City Council meeting and to facilitating the
successful completion of this unique and exciting project. Please contact us at your convenience with
any questions or comments that you may have.

Manicipal Conservation
Under the preferred alternative, the District will revise and update the urban water management
plan submitted to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR). The goal will be to
further reduce urban water demand by a minimum of 10 percent by 2010 and maintain this level
of reduction throughout the planning period without producing dramatic lifestyle changes on the
part of those conserving. In the future, as total demand increases, the volume of water conserved
will increase.
During revision of the urban water management plan, various existing and new water
conservation measures will be evaluated including:
• Water Efficient Landscaping -maintaining water -efficient urban and residential
landscaping and irrigation systems, optimizing existing systems, improving the overall
efficiency of local water use, developing and enforcing water efficient landscape
ordinances.
• Water Efficient Plumbing -retrofitting indoor plumbing with ultra -low flush toilets and
low -flow showerheads, encouraging development of local ordinances requiring
retrofitting as a condition of sale of a property, installing water efficient plumbing in all
new buildings.
WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN PAGE 21 .� C
s
Executive Summary
• Tiered or Seasonal Water Pricing -revising the District's water pricing structure to a tiered
or increased block -rate structure that will encourage water conservation by increasing the
price of water either year -around or seasonally as usage increases.
• Public information and education programs -promoting the importance of water
conservation efforts within the schools and to the general public.
• Alternate Water Supplies -requiring the use of alternate water supplies (such as recycled
or Canal water) for urban irrigation purposes where available.
• Municipal Development Policies -working with municipalities, counties, and other
agencies ' to incorporate specific policies regarding water conservation measures into
future general plan updates and development policies.
• Conservation Coordinator -designating a full-time position and support staff as required to
coordinate and develop water conservation plans.
• Maximum Allowable Water Allowance -establish new and enforce existing annual
Maximum Applied Water Allowances for parks, playgrounds, sports fields, school yards,
and other recreational areas.
Agricultural Conservation
As presented in Table 2, the goal is to reduce agricultural demand for crop irrigation by
approximately 7 percent by 2015. This corresponds to an increase in irrigation efficiency from
70 to 75 percent. Conservation would be maintained at this level for the remainder of the
planning period. The District will prepare an agricultural water conservation plan to develop and
evaluate specific existing and new agricultural conservation measures including:
• Efficient Irrigation Practices -working with Valley growers to ensure that the most up-to-
date irrigation practices are being employed, converting from furrow irrigation to drip
irrigation, refining existing drip irrigation management and design to improve distribution
uniformity such as buried drip systems, installation of pressure compensating emitters,
and including more emitters per line.
• On -farm Water Audits -reviewing individual grower's water use practices on a field -by -
field basis and evaluating the unique characteristics of each field and crop type.
Confidential reports will be made to each grower indicating the general efficiency of each
field and containing recommendations for improved efficiency.
Golf Course Conservation
Golf course conservation is expected to reduce the water demand of existing golf courses by at
least 5 percent by 2010 and maintain that level throughout the planning period. The District will
prepare a golf course water conservation plan to develop and evaluate specific existing and new
golf course conservation measures including:
• Efficient Irrigation Practices -promoting the use of more efficient irrigation techniques,
such as improved sprinkler layouts, computer -based irrigation systems and ET -based
irrigation scheduling.
57
PAGE 22 WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
Executive Summary
• Golf Course Turf Restrictions -establishing criteria in a local ordinance to specify the
maximum allowable irrigated area for golf courses. Such an ordinance would restrict the
placement of turf grass on the tees, greens, and small portions of the fairways.
• Maximum Allowable Water Allowance -enforce existing annual Maximum Applied
Water Allowances for newly installed and rehabilitated landscapes. Establish annual
Maximum Applied Water Allowances for golf courses.
District Operating Policies
In addition, the District is in the process of reviewing its operating policies. The purpose of this
review is to identify CVWD operating policies that (1) result in additional water savings or (2)
make the use of Canal water more attractive to groundwater users.
Evaluation of Water Conservation Programs
The District's water conservation programs will be evaluated to determine the effectiveness of
voluntary programs with recommendations for improvement in specific areas, such as public
education, ordinances, etc. Based on the evaluation results, additional conservation measures
will be considered.
Additional Water Supplies
In addition to water conservation, the District and DWA will need to obtain additional water
supplies to eliminate current and future overdraft. Evaluation of many potential alternative
supplies has identified four sources that will be augmented as part of the preferred alternative.
These sources are the Colorado River, State Water Project, Whitewater River and recycled water.
The steps to be taken to augment these supplies are discussed below.
Colorado River Water
In October 1999, CVWD, IID and Metropolitan reached agreement on the "key terms" that will
be necessary elements in a formal Quantification Settlement Agreement (QSA) regarding a
division and quantification of their respective shares of Colorado River water. The detailed QSA
document is being prepared for review and, pending completion of all required environmental
reviews, formal approval by the three agencies' Boards. The intent of this agreement is to
quantify the rights of each agency and allow the transfer of water between willing buyers and
sellers. The Quantification Settlement includes:
• Capping IID and CVWD Priority 3 water,
• Modification to the 1988 IID/Metropolitan Water Conservation Agreement,
• Amendment to the 1989 Metropolitan/IID/CVWD/PVID Approval Agreement and
transferring 20,000 acre-ft/yr to CVWD,
• Conservation and transfer of 200,000 acre-ft/yr from IID to SDCWA,
• Exchange Agreement between SDCWA and Metropolitan,
• Conservation and transfer of 100,000 acre-ft/yr from IID to CVWD,

Executive Summary
CONCLUSIONS
The Coachella Valley Water Management Plan's goal is to assure adequate quantities of safe,
high -quality water at the lowest cost to District water users. If the Plan is to succeed, it must be a
living document that is flexible and can be adapted to meet the changing needs of the Coachella
Valley. As management elements are set in place, and results of implementation strategies are
quantified, the Plan will be periodically evaluated to determine how well it is meeting the needs
of the Valley, to consider new information and opportunities, and if needed to make appropriate
adjustments. Along with the Plan, a Programmatic Environmental Impact Report has been
prepared that fully discusses the social and environmental impacts of the preferred alternative.
Table 4
Economic Effects on Water User Groups
Water User Group I Range of Effects
Domestic Water Users (District Wide) $0.05 to $0.20 per hundred cubic feet
Canal Water Users (Lower Valley only) $0 to $5 per acre foot
Lower Valley Groundwater Users $10 to $40 per acre foot
Upper Valley Groundwater Users $0 to $25 per acre foot
Property Owners $0 to $0.02 per $100 taxable value
Developer Fees $0 to $2,000 per unit
The next step is a public review of the Plan. Public forums and workshops will invite input from
the general public, taxpayers, water users, local governments, tribal interests, federal and state
agencies, and other Colorado River water users. Public review may result in modifications to the
proposed preferred alternative. It is anticipated that the Plan will be recommended to the District
Board of Directors for adoption near the end of 2000.
Actions needed to ensure that the preferred alternative meets the objectives of the Plan require
commitment, consensus, and cooperation from all water users in the Valley. The success of past
water management efforts, coupled with implementation of the recommendations in the
Coachella Valley Water Management Plan, will allow the Coachella Valley to sustain its vibrant
economy and move into the new century with a reliable, affordable, and stable water supply.

In 1936, the agricultural demand constituted more than 87 percent of the total Valley demand and
more than 95 percent of the Lower Valley demand. Agricultural demand increased dramatically
from 1936 to the early 1960s especially after Canal water became available. Since that time,
demand has decreased slightly due to improved irrigation efficiency, with variation due to
weather and crop patterns. Currently, agricultural demand is 54 percent of the total Valley
demand and 80 percent of the Lower Valley demand.
Crop Irrigation
The Coachella Valley is famous for many crops including citrus, table grapes, dates and a variety
of fruits and vegetables. In 1936, more than 98 percent (82,600 acre-ft) of the total agricultural
demand was for crop irrigation. The 1999 crop irrigation demand was approximately 332,500
acre-ft or 93 percent of the total agricultural demand as shown in Table 3-1. Nearly all of the
current crop irrigation demand occurs in the Lower Valley.
Fish Farms and Duck Clubs
Fish farming is a water -dependent agricultural enterprise that is attracted by the warm
groundwater in the Lower Valley. A variety of fish are grown in the Valley for the market,
including striped bass, catfish, and tilapia. Fish farm operations range from earthen ponds to
highly intensive tank systems using pure oxygen aeration. Approximately 1,000 acres of ponds
are located in the Coachella Valley. As presented in Figure 3-A, water demand for fish farms

remained relatively small (less than 1,000 acre-ft/yr) from 1936 to 1971, but has increased
dramatically since that time. The total water demand by fish farms was approximately 21,100
acre-ft/yr in 1999.

Duck clubs provide ponded water to attract ducks and other waterfowl during their winter
migration. The duck clubs are located north of the Salton Sea. The ponds are typically filled in
late summer and water levels are maintained until mid -winter. As presented in Table 3-1, water
demand by duck clubs has more than tripled since 1936 (estimated at 1,300 acre-ft). The total
1999 duck club demand was approximately 4,300 acre-ft/yr.
Greenhouses
Greenhouses, located in the Lower Valley near the Salton Sea, grow fresh flowers for the
Southern California floral market. 1999 use was approximately 800 acre-ft/yr. Greenhouses use
the warm groundwater to provide temperature regulation as well as irrigation. This demand
currently comprises less than 1 percent of the total water demand for the basin.

Section 3 - Historical Water Conditions
Urban Demands
Historical urban water demands include domestic, golf course, and industrial uses. Each of these
components is summarized in Table 3-1. The total urban demand for the basin was
approximately 12,200 acre-ft/yr in 1936 and was approximately 310,200 acre-ft/yr in 1999. In
1936, urban demand constituted approximately 13 percent of the total water demands. Currently,
the proportion of urban demand has more than tripled to 46 percent of the total demand.
Municipal Water Use
Municipal water use includes residential, commercial, governmental and institutional demands in
the Valley. Also included is on -farm domestic use in the Lower Valley. Three major domestic
water purveyors, DWA, CVWD, and Mission Springs Water District, serve water in the Upper
Valley. Four major domestic water purveyors serve the Lower Coachella Valley: CVWD, the
City of Coachella, the City of Indio, and Myoma Dunes Mutual Water Company. Small water
users and some households are supplied by individual wells.
Municipal use is currently approximately 65 percent of the total urban water demand. Historical
domestic use in the Upper Valley was estimated to be 6,900 acre-ft/yr in 1936. By 1999,
domestic use had increased to 145,600 acre-ft/yr. Historical domestic demand for the Lower
Valley is presented in Table 3-1. Domestic demand in the Lower Valley increased from
approximately 4,000 acre-ft/yr in 1936 to more than 57,300 acre-ft/yr in 1999.
Golf Courses
Golf course irrigation is a significant water use in the Coachella Valley. The first golf course in
the Upper Valley was constructed in 1925. As presented in Table 3-1, golf course demand in
1999 was approximately 106,200 acre-ft/yr, of which 77,700 acre-ft/yr is in the Upper Valley and
28,500 acre-ft/yr is in the Lower Valley. Historical golf course demand is presented in Figure 3-
A. Golf course demand in the Lower Valley has increased dramatically over the past 40 years,
from less than 1,000 acre-ft/yr in 1948 to more than 28,500 acre-ft/yr in 1999.
Industrial
Industrial use is a minor portion (less than 1 percent) of the total water demand in the Coachella
Valley. The Colmac Mecca Biomass Cogeneration plant, located near Mecca in the Lower
Valley, generates 48 megawatts of power using wood and agricultural waste as fuel.
Groundwater is used as the source of boiler feed and cooling water. Current water use is
estimated to be approximately 1,100 acre-ft/yr.
HISTORICAL WATER SUPPLIES
Water supplies in the Coachella Valley consist of. groundwater extracted from wells, surface
water diverted from local streams, imported water supplied through the Coachella Canal (Canal
water), imported water exchanged for SWP water, and recycled water from wastewater treatment
plants and fish farms. Precipitation on the Valley floor in this and region is only 3 to 6 inches/yr
V4C
WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN PAGE 3-5
Section 4 - Baseline Conditions: The No Project Alternative
Agricultural Growth Assumptions
Future agricultural demands are based on an analysis of 1996 crop surveys (Lord, 1996). The
District conducts semiannual crop surveys. Crop evapotranspiration and the leaching
requirement (applied water required to maintain salt tolerance of crops) were estimated and
applied to crop acreage in each section. Water demand was computed assuming a District -wide
irrigation efficiency of 70 percent. Subsequent on -farm investigations have confirmed this
estimate of efficiency. For future conditions, it is assumed that these cropping patterns will
generally continue.
Several existing sections of agricultural land, particularly in the northern portion of the Lower
Valley are projected to convert to urban use by 2035. Because it is currently unknown exactly
when this conversion will take place, the agricultural demand in this portion of the Valley was
gradually reduced each year until 2035. In addition, some vacant land within ID-1 in the central
portion of the Lower Valley currently zoned for agriculture will be farmed by 2035. Most of
these. Therefore, expansion of the existing distribution system will be required. The result of
these conversions is a net increase in the agricultural demand of about 13,500 acre-ft/yr by 2035.
Increased demand located within ID-1 is assumed to be supplied with Canal water while land
outside ID-1 will be supplied with groundwater. No Canal water conversion is assumed to take
place in the Oasis area. Upper Valley agricultural demands are assumed to remain constant at
current levels.
Golf Course Growth Assumptions
Golf courses represent a significant demand sector in the Coachella Valley that is expected to
continue growing. Current plans indicate that 40 additional courses could be constructed by
2015 (Desert Sun, 1996). It was assumed that the probability of a course actually being
constructed is about 75 percent. In addition, it is expected that improved irrigation efficiency
will reduce the water demand of these new courses.
The water supply for golf courses depends on their location and current supply. Most existing
Upper Valley golf courses are supplied with groundwater unless served with recycled water.
Recycled water is currently delivered to golf courses from WRP-7, WRP-9, WRP-10 and Palm
Springs/DWA Water Reclamation Plant. Existing courses in the vicinity of WRP-10 will need to
use more recycled water in the future because future wastewater flows at WRP-10 are projected
to exceed the current percolation capacity at WRP-10. Therefore, several existing courses closest
to WRP-10 that currently use only groundwater are projected to use recycled water in the future.
Recycled water users are assumed to meet only 70 to 90 percent of their demand with recycled
water because groundwater must be pumped in summer months to meet demand when recycled
water availability decreases.
Some Golf courses in the Lower Valley currently receive Canal water to meet a portion of their
demand. All new Lower Valley golf courses in ID-1 will receive Canal water. All existing
PAGE 4-4 WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
63
17
Section 4 - Baseline Conditions: The No Project Alternative
Lower Valley courses that currently receive Canal water will continue to be supplied at the
current rates.
Fish Farm and Duck Club Assumptions
Fish farm demands are based on surveys conducted by the District in 1994. Nearly all fish farms
currently pump groundwater, except for a few that use Canal water to meet a portion of their
demand. Canal water use for existing fish farms will remain at current levels. Water demands
for new fish farms are assumed to increase 5,000 acre-ft/yr by 2005.
Fish farm pumping is projected to decrease due to on -going water conservation and recycling
efforts. Reuse of fish farm effluent will increase from 1,500 acre-ft/yr in 1999 to 5,000 acre-ft/yr
in the future. This effluent is assumed to be used by agricultural irrigators, duck clubs and fish
farms. Therefore, discharge of fish farm effluent to the CVSC and other drains will decrease
from 13,000 acre-ft/yr in 1999 to 7,700 acre-ft/yr in the future.
Duck club water demands will increase from 4,300 acre-ft/yr to 4,600 acre-ft/yr as several
inactive duck clubs become operational by 2001. Most of the duck clubs currently pump
groundwater, except for three clubs that use Canal water to meet a portion of their demand (about
500 acre-ft/yr). This use will continue. In addition, reuse of fish farm effluent is assumed to
meet about 600 acre-ft/yr of this demand.
State Water Project Supplies
The SWP exchange with Metropolitan will continue in the future. DWR has performed
hydrologic and operational analyses of the SWP as part of the joint California -Federal Bay -Delta
studies (CALFED). SWP exchange water deliveries are expected to average 83 percent of
entitlement or 50,000 acre-ft/yr based on baseline studies for the CALFED Program (2020D09C-
CALFED-786). This annual amount of SWP delivery is equivalent to the historical average
amount of SWP exchange water recharged at the Whitewater Spreading Facility. Water
recharged at the Whitewater Spreading Facility is subject to evaporation losses of 2 percent based
on historical evaporation data and wetted pond acreage.
Whitewater River
The Whitewater River flows from the San Bernardino Mountains southerly through the
Coachella Valley. In its upper reaches, it conveys natural runoff along with SWP Exchange
water to the Whitewater Spreading Facility for groundwater recharge. Below the spreading
grounds, the river predominantly conveys stormwater to the Salton Sea. Below Point Happy, the
river channel has been designated the Coachella Valley Stormwater Channel (CVSC). In 1997,
the District filed an application with the State Water Resources Control Board to appropriate all
waters in the CVSC (up to a maximum of 150 cfs) draining from lands irrigated in ID-1. The
application was submitted with the intent to retain local control of local water resources. This
project was not included in No Project.

Figure 4-B and Table 4-2 present the current water demand in the study area and projects water
demand through the year 2035. Municipal and domestic demands are exceeded by agricultural
demands but are expected to increase at a faster rate than agricultural demands. The total
demand for 1999 is estimated to be approximately 668,900 acre-ft/yr. The year 2035 demand is
anticipated to be approximately 890,600 acre-ftlyr (an increase of 33 percent). In 1999, urban
demand comprised 46 percent of the total demand while agricultural water use was 54 percent.
By the year 2035, it is estimated that urban water use will comprise 58 percent of the total
demand and agricultural use 42 percent, due to the growth of urban demand and the relative
stability of agricultural demand.
The total demand for the Lower Valley is projected to increase from 444,700 acre-ft/yr in 1999 to
538,400 acre-ft/yr in 2035, an increase of 21 percent. Of this amount, about 95 percent of the
Lower Valley demand is located within the ID-1 boundary. Water demand outside ID-1 is
projected to increase slightly, from 21,200 acre-ft/yr in 1999 to 28,100 acre-ft/yr in 2035.

available by conservation will in turn be supplied to Lower Valley golf courses and other
groundwater pumpers.
Alternative 4 - Combination Alternative
Alternative 4 includes three basic water management elements: conservation, source substitution
and groundwater recharge. The most feasible and cost-effective measures identified in Table 5-1
are combined to form an alternative that incorporates the following elements within each of the
three basic water management categories:
Conservation
• Urban water conservation measures, and
• Agricultural water conservation measures.
Source Substitution
• Canal water to agricultural groundwater pumpers within ID-1,
• Canal water for golf course irrigation within ID-1,
• Additional recycled water to golf courses in the Upper Valley,
• Desalted agricultural drain water for agricultural irrigation outside ID-1,
• Recycled water for agricultural irrigation in Lower Valley
• Treated Canal water for urban uses within ID-1, and
• SWP exchange water for irrigation of golf courses in the Upper Valley.
Groundwater Recharge
• Direct recharge of Upper Valley groundwater basins with imported Colorado River
water exchanged for SWP water, and
• Lower Valley groundwater recharge with Coachella Canal water.
Conservation
Water conservation can and should be treated like any other water supply option. Conservation
includes long-term programs to permanently reduce water demands through programs such as
water -efficient plumbing fixtures and landscaping, improved irrigation technology (both urban
and agricultural), and ongoing public information and education programs. The goal of water
conservation programs is to provide long-term water savings without producing dramatic
lifestyle changes on the part of those conserving.
Urban conservation in the Valley will focus on water -efficient plumbing and landscaping,
irrigation technology, and public information and education programs. In many areas, urban
conservation centers on installation of ultra -low -flush (ULF) toilet and low -flow showerhead
replacement. Indoor water use in the Coachella Valley is less than 30 percent of municipal and
domestic use. About half of the housing units in the Valley are less than 20 years old and already
comply with building code provisions requiring low -flush or ULF toilets and low -flow
showerheads. Indoor conservation activities should target the older dwelling units. Since
landscape irrigation constitutes a major portion of most residential units' water use, it offers a
greater potential for conservation. Public information and education programs will continue to

Section 5 - Water Management Plan Alternatives
play a major role in emphasizing the importance of water conservation efforts and in keeping the
issue in the general public's mind.
The Water Conservation in Landscaping Act (1992) requires each city and county to adopt a
water efficiency ordinance for landscaping. The District has employed a water management
specialist to work closely with large landscapers such as country clubs, developers, and
government agencies to ensure wise water management. This vigorous program is intended to
maintain water -efficient landscaping and irrigation systems, optimize existing systems, and
improve the overall efficiency of local water use. Alternative 4 will continue these efforts, with
added emphasis on the use of water -efficient plantings in existing landscaping.
Agricultural conservation will consist of working with valley growers to ensure that the most up-
to-date agricultural practices are used. Individual growers water use practices will be reviewed
on a field -by -field basis, evaluating the unique characteristics of each field and crop type.
Confidential reports indicating the general efficiency of each field and containing
recommendations for improved efficiency will be made to each grower. Potential improvements
may include conversion from furrow and sprinkler irrigation to drip irrigation and also the
refinement of existing systems to improve distribution uniformity.
Implementation of the extensive water conservation measures included in Alternative 3 could
have substantial impacts on the quality of life in the Coachella Valley. Water conservation
measures included in Alternative 4 are not as extensive as those included in Alternative 3. Total
urban water demand would decrease a minimum of 10 percent due to conservation. Golf course
demand will also be reduced by approximately 5 percent through improved irrigation
management.
Water conservation by agricultural users is assumed to reduce agricultural water demands by a
minimum of 7 percent due to improvements in irrigation technology and application methods.
This level of conservation would result in an increase in irrigation efficiency from 70 percent to
approximately 75 percent. Water conservation measures include implementation of best
management practices (BMPs) for urban water conservation, an increase in golf course irrigation
efficiencies, and continued agricultural conservation. Water savings would increase in the future
as demands increase.
Source Substitution
Source substitution, as used in the Plan, refers to the delivery of an alternate source of supply in
place of groundwater use. This technique is sometimes referred to as in -lieu recharge, as
groundwater is allowed to accumulate in the basin rather than be pumped. For the Coachella
Valley, available alternate supplies consist of Canal water, recycled water and SWP exchange
water.
Canal Water. Water from the Coachella Canal is a significant water supply for the Lower
Coachella Valley. The Coachella Canal brings Colorado River water into the Coachella Valley
for use within ID-1. In recent years, Canal water deliveries have decreased in spite of a relatively
WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN PAGE 5-9
68
Zz
Section 5 - Water Management Plan Alternatives
constant total demand. Increased use of Canal water in lieu of groundwater could have a
substantial effect on overdraft.
Agricultural Conversion from Groundwater to Canal Water. Agriculture accounted for
approximately 357,800 acre-ft (80 percent) of the water use in the Lower Valley in 1999. Of the
total agricultural use, more than 87,000 acre-ft was groundwater. Most agricultural groundwater
users are within ID-1 and are eligible to receive water from the Coachella Canal.
There are several reasons why growers use groundwater rather than Canal water. In some parts
of the Valley the distribution system was never completed and not all growers have access to
Canal water. The Oasis area, which annually accounts for approximately 27,000 acre-ft of
demand, with 21,000 acre-ft within ID-1, is the largest area within ID-1 without a distribution
system.
Another primary reason for the use of groundwater over Canal water is the advent of drip
irrigation. Many growers utilizing drip irrigation have switched from Canal water to
groundwater because it contains far less sediment than Canal water and does not require the
expensive filtration systems needed to use Canal water with drip systems. In addition, growers
are also able to apply groundwater at their convenience, thereby avoiding the construction and
maintenance of reservoirs and the scheduling of irrigation water deliveries through the District.
Conversion of agricultural groundwater use to Canal water use would take two forms:
I. Expansion of the distribution system to areas within ID-1 not served by the current
distribution system, and
2. Conversion of groundwater users who have Canal water available for use but choose to
irrigate with groundwater.
This alternative assumes that through distribution system expansion, extensive outreach
programs, and other incentives, as much as 25,700 acre-ft/yr of agricultural groundwater use
could be converted to Canal water use by 2035.
Golf Course Use of Canal Water. With approximately 100 golf courses in the Coachella Valley,
the golf industry is one of the Valley's largest employers. Initially located mostly in the Upper
Valley, golf courses are now also a major part of the Lower Valley's economy and are major
water users. The District has for many years advocated the use of Canal water for golf course
irrigation purposes for courses located within ID-1.
Today, many of the golf courses within ID-1 use Canal water for all or part of their irrigation
needs. All new golf courses within ID-1 will be required to use Canal water as their primary
water supply. As many of the existing courses as possible will be converted from groundwater to
Canal water and courses currently using both groundwater and Canal water will be encouraged to
maximize Canal water use.
Recycled Water. Recycled water is a significant potential local resource that could be used to
help reduce overdraft. Recycled water currently plays a limited role in the Valley's water supply.

Section 7 - Implementation of Preferred Alternative
The MOU also references eleven potential BMPs that are subject to on -going study to determine
whether the practices meet the criteria for inclusion in the list of BMPs. The District is not
currently a signatory to the MOU; however, DWA is a signatory. Under the Plan, the District
will consider signing the MOU.
The District will revise and update the urban water management plan submitted to the California
Department of Water Resources (DWR). The goal of the plan will be to further reduce urban
water demand by a minimum of 10 percent by 2010 and maintain this level of reduction
throughout the planning period without producing dramatic lifestyle changes on the part of those
conserving. In the future, as total demand increases, the volume of water conserved will
increase.
During revision of the urban water management plan, various existing and new water
conservation measures will be evaluated including:
• Water Efficient Landscaping -maintaining water -efficient urban and residential
landscaping and irrigation systems, optimizing existing systems, improving the overall
efficiency of local water use, turf restrictions, xeriscaping, developing and enforcing
water efficient landscape ordinances.
• Water Efficient Plumbing -retrofitting indoor plumbing with ultra -low flush toilets and
low -flow showerheads, encouraging development of local ordinances requiring
retrofitting as a condition of sale of a property, installing water efficient plumbing in all
new buildings.
• Tiered or Seasonal Water Pricing -revising the District's water pricing structure to a tiered
or increased block -rate structure that will encourage water conservation by increasing the
price of water either year -around or seasonally as usage increases.
• Alternate Water Supplies -requiring the use of alternate water supplies (such as recycled
or Canal water) for urban irrigation purposes where available.
• Public Information and Education Programs -promoting the importance of water
conservation efforts within the schools and to the general public.
• Municipal Development Policies -working with municipalities, counties, and other
agencies to incorporate specific policies regarding water conservation measures into
future general plan updates and development policies.
• Conservation Coordinator -designating a full-time position and support staff as required to
coordinate and develop water conservation plans.
• Maximum Allowable Water Allowance -establish new and enforce existing annual
Maximum Applied Water Allowances for parks, playgrounds, sports fields, school yards,
and other recreational areas.
Agricultural Conservation
The Agricultural Efficient Water Management Act of 1990 (California Water Code Section
10900-10904) required DWR to evaluate water management practices to improve the efficiency

its legal rights. Many of the measures listed in Table 7-2, however, have been implemented by
CVWD.
As presented in Table 7-1, the preferred alternative strives to reduce agricultural demand for crop
irrigation by a minimum of 7 percent by 2015. This corresponds to an increase in irrigation
efficiency from 70 to 75 percent. This level of conservation is believed to be achievable based
on recent farm water use evaluations performed for CVWD by J.M. Lord. Conservation would be
maintained at this level for the remainder of the planning period. The District will prepare an
agricultural water conservation plan to develop and evaluate specific existing and new
agricultural conservation measures including:
• Efficient Irrigation Practices -working with Valley growers to ensure that the most up-to-
date irrigation practices are being employed, converting from furrow irrigation to drip
irrigation, refining existing drip irrigation management and design to improve distribution
uniformity such as buried drip systems, installation of pressure compensating emitters,
and including more emitters per line.
• On -farm Water Audits -reviewing individual grower's water use practices on a field -by -
field basis and evaluating the unique characteristics of each field and crop type.
Confidential reports will be made to each grower indicating the general efficiency of each
field and containing recommendations for improved efficiency.
Golf Course Conservation
Golf course conservation is expected to reduce the water demand of existing golf courses by at
least 5 percent by 2010 and maintain that level throughout the planning period. New golf courses
are assumed to implement existing water conservation measures. The District will prepare a golf
course water conservation plan to develop and evaluate specific existing and new golf course
conservation measures including:
• Efficient Irritation Practices -promoting the use of more efficient irrigation techniques,
such as improved sprinkler layouts, computer -based irrigation systems and ET -based
irrigation scheduling.
• Golf Course Turf Restrictions -establishing criteria in a local ordinance to specify the
maximum allowable irrigated area for golf courses. Such an ordinance would restrict the
placement of turf grass on the tees, greens, and small portions of the fairways.
• Maximum Allowable Water Allowance -enforce existing annual Maximum Applied
Water Allowances for newly installed and rehabilitated landscapes. Establish annual
Maximum Applied Water Allowances for golf courses.
District Operating Policies
In addition to municipal, agricultural, and golf course conservation measures, the District is in
the process of reviewing its operating policies. The purpose of this review is to identify CVWD
operating policies that (1) result in additional water savings or (2) make the use of Canal water
more attractive to groundwater users. ,. n
