Section 925 - Progress Reports by Permittee(a) As specified in section 847 of this title, water right permit holders are required to file annual progress reports. Section 846 of this title provides that permittees may also be required to submit a written statement of the quantities of water beneficially used. Annual reports required under this section are in addition to any specific reporting requirements in a water right permit.(b) Annual progress reports by permittees shall be filed before February 1 after the close of the twelve month reporting period on forms available at the board's website. Provisional data and information may be used in the progress report if final data are not available by the reporting deadline. If provisional streamflow data are used in the water use report, an amended report based on final streamflow data shall be filed within one month of the date the final streamflow data are available. The board may rely upon any report, including a report based on provisional data, until and unless a revised report is filed. A failure to file a progress report is a violation of permit terms.(c) The annual reports shall include the following information: (1) A statement affirming compliance or non-compliance with permit terms and conditions;(2) The construction status of the permitted project and status of current water use;(3) The purpose(s) for which water is diverted and used.

Each month must contain an entry. If no diversion occurred in a given month, a "0" should be entered;(6) The maximum rate of diversion achieved at any time during each month (or shorter period if otherwise required), if available;(7) For permits, the annual report shall also include the measurement data required to be collected in section 933 of this chapter.(d) If a substitute or alternative water supply, such as groundwater, contract water, or recycled water, is being used in lieu of surface water that is required to be reported under this section, the report should indicate the source and amount of substitute or alternative water used and the amount of surface water offset on a monthly basis.(e) If water conservation efforts have resulted in a cessation or reduction in use, the report should include a description of the conservation efforts employed and indicate the extent and monthly amount of the reduction in water use due to these water conservation efforts.Cal.
