The certification of irrigated acres is a tool LPSNRD uses to effectively manage ground water quantity concerns. Knowing the location and number of irrigated acres and the amount of water applied to those acres helps us make management decisions that preserve and protect the water supply and protect existing water users.
Current LPSNRD regulations require all acres to be irrigated with ground water be certified before any development of new irrigation takes place. LPSNRD is certifying irrigated acres regardless of whether the acres are located within the District's Hydrologically Connected Area (HCA). Certifying acres throughout the District will allow us to make better management decisions involving groundwater quantity.
