  "Buying the extra water will allow us to bank it in four of our storage basins," said Jim Ventura, Board President who represents Division 2."The banked water is like having a savings account so that during periods when water is less available through the State Water Project, we'll have a source of supply to plan for dry spells or increased demands," he added. This recent purchase marks the third time that the Agency has purchased water above and beyond typical regional demands.Almost 5,800 acre-feet were purchased for banking in 2003, and 9,300 in 2004."The decision to buy water now is an example of our Board showing foresight and helps us to reduce our future reliance on what could be an undependable source," said Ventura.In addition to the banking program, the Agency also participated in a water transfer program with Metropolitan Water District of Southern California in 2003 that saw 25,000 acre-feet added to the aquifer, and 20,000 acre-feet in 2005. "A stable and secure water supply is key to the health and growth of the High Desert's economy," added Ventura.Ventura emphasized that water banking is just one of several strategies the Agency uses to meet present and future water demands.
