get there first and the problem the severe weather threat we have today. the areas in yellow you see, they believe all these folks including much of our region has a threat for severe thunderstorms with damaging wind gusts or large hail possible in the strongest of those storms and you can see it includes us, the whole i-95 corridor. you get out west a little bit the threat isn t there but we ve been watching this one cluster of storms, it s weakening. it s diminishing but it s right on top of us and it still has quite a punch coming through the metro and a few new storms fire up toward frederick right now. and that s headed toward oh, woodsboro, walkersville, maybe over to new market moving east/southeast. but the storms near washington now and by the way nothing is severe. no warnings, no watches. this is sort of maybe the first of what could be two or even three rounds in spots i think before the day is over. it s here and it is on the west side of town coming out of fairf
drought and despite major investments in imported water supplies and water recycling the fact is they have been operating in a water supply deficit. thankfully for that period we ve almost always had above average rain fall. if that occurred today, those residents despite all their plumbing facilities and other efficiency measures would have to reduce demand an additional 70 percent in order to keep from running out of water. the choices faces, them like many in the west are not easy and certainly not cheap. you re going to find a common thread the area of cheap and easy solutions to water supply is over. consider the fact that,mufd, is sponsoring around 8 hundred dollars an acre foot if any of you are paying more than that for incentive programs i would love to know but that probably is setg the pace. the district is considering a plant on san francisco bay to diversify it s water supply, portfolio and supervise a hedge on patterns that are likely to get even more volatile w
late spring rain period. what we typically see is the snow fall that does shed is scoured out in late april and may site has a much bigger impact on our fish flows potentially. another thing the palmer study gave us was effect on our projected demand. you can see the higher line represents what we think would happen based on the climate change effect and that s 8 percent bump over norms in 2040. so a climate change enhanced version. the footnotes of this slide is since we conducted this study and this speaks to something chuck just mentioned their subjectively lower than when we first did this so that s an issue we re trying to understand how to incorporate that into our plan when demand is not going up in the same way it did in the past. there s fundamentally a different relationship. part of sit just a different way and we re sighing higher and a lot of infill with residential and high density residential. these are some of the things we re trying to figure out how that imp
