Recommendation 1: Regardless of supply side actions, the subbasin needs to develop an accounting system to fulfill the commitment to DWR to develop a GDM program. 2. Recommendation 2: A single consistent water accounting methodology and system for the entire subbasin is needed. 3. Recommendation 3: This accounting system needs the flexibility to potentially handle different spatial scales (large groupings of land vs. individual fields/parcels, etc.). 4. Recommendation 4: The preferred measurement method for evapotranspiration of applied groundwater (ETAGW) is remote sensing with certified totalizing flowmeters as an option 5. Recommendation 5: Certified totalizing applied groundwater (AGW) flowmeters will be used as an option at the grower’s expense if: (1) growers prefer flowmeters over remote sensing or (2) if applied surface water (ASW) is not measured with sufficient volumetric or spatial accuracy. 6. Recommendation 6: Collectively, the CGA and GGA need to budget $500,000 / YR for remotely sensed evapotranspiration (ET) measurement data across the entire Colusa Subbasin. 7. Recommendation 7: Water accounting should be implemented in a phased manner with a pilot phase including provision of data to growers as soon as possible (e.g., providing draft groundwater consumption/extraction data to growers in 2025/2026). c. Direct staff/consultants to develop an RFP/RFQ for an accounting system solicitation. d. Direct staff/consultants to develop an RFP/RFQ for remote sensing solicitation. 6.
