Mini CALFED Glossary

Conjunctive use- The operation of a groundwater basin (for water storage) in conjunction with a surface water storage and conveyance system.

Conveyance- A pipeline, canal, natural channel or other similar facility that transports water from one location to another. An "isolated" conveyance facility keeps the transported water separate from Delta water.

Demand management- Programs that reduce demand for water through activities such as conservation, rate incentives, fallowing of ag fields, and drought rationing.

Entrainment- The drawing of fish into diversion pumps along with the water.

Groundwater banking- Storing water in groundwater basins for use during dry years. In-lieu banking replaces groundwater used by irrigators with surface water to save underground supplies for drought use.

Real-time monitoring- Continuous observation in multiple locations of biological conditions in order to adjust water management operations to protect fish and allow optimal operation of the water supply system.
