this water over and above the obligation to the irrigation district. you will see that 22,000 acre and 50,000 acre feet with you 14-15 actuals on that. already this year were at 99,000 acre feet and looking promising going into the future of the year. so we are doing good on terms of amount of water in the river that's a double to san francisco. the last slide is the home deliveries. again the green is this years. the blue is last years. weekly deliveries and the purple is 2013. so we are talking right now down to our low point in the year which is typically about now around 1 january. our demand is quite low at 147,000,000 gallons per day. i just saw last week's that dropped another million and a half gallons per day. were about 146-145 letdowns per day to very low demand. there's no doubt about that. people than saving water and doing a good job of it in our system. that adds to our storage. so we will see where we get through the rest of december and see you next year on water supply conditions. any questions great >> any questions for mr. richie? a

somebody mentioned that the irrigation districts dont have our interested heart and good deal of the time that is true. we also have a long history work wg them cooperatively ochb other issues so it isn't always true. but they are not the only ones at the table and deis a very tough nut to crack and while i hope we can do is where there is flexibility in numbers we identify that. where there are numbers that are not fully understood i would like to make sure they are fully understood. we may need to get into discussions about how you mentioned you could not believe that there was supply assurances in perpetuity, there kind of are and there is other agreements that we may need to get into make it fully understoodable to folks. we live under contracts and law and they put constraint on us as well as the natural systems put constraint on us so it is a tough one to take care of and in order to get from here to there and any reasonable solution we need to make sure that we dopet just spends our time arguing about numbers, we need to put the issues to bed and do that as quickly and effecti

the agency declared that it has control over things like irrigation ditches and back yard ponds all across america. two different courts have blocked this rule from taking effect. why? because it goes far beyond the agency's own authority. for eight years now the leaders of the e.p.a. have not had their priorities straight. they've been pursuing a political agenda instead of focusing on what should be the agency's core mission. the environmental protection agency was created for a reason. it was created because america needed someone to perform this mission. now, there's a right way to do the job. we can strike the right balance so that we protect our environment while allowing our economy to grow. my home state of wymong is one of the most pristine states in the country, one of the most beautiful places in the world, as well as one of the most energy-rich states in the country. wymong has struck the right balance. we've done it successfully, and so have many other states. we can address threats to our environment best through the cooperation of states, towns, indian tribes and washington,
