From the State Water Resources Control Board:
The State Water Resources Control Board is proposing to revise the regulations for measuring and reporting surface water diversions. High quality, accurate water diversion data is essential for managing water supplies throughout the state. Proposed regulation revisions improve readability and refine key terms. The proposed revisions also require diverters to report data in a standardized format, provide an email address, identify measurement locations, and make other minor accompanying changes. The revisions are needed to align regulatory requirements with the Board’s new online water rights data system, California Water Accounting, Tracking, and Reporting System (CalWATRS).
A detailed explanation of the proposed regulation revisions and rulemaking process are available on the Water Measurement and Reporting Regulation Rulemaking webpage.
