The Oakdale Irrigation District (OID) is currently facing this challenge and has developed a Subdivision/Parcel Map Development Policy that attempts to bring balance to that concern. This paper will present OID's Subdivision Policy and discuss the reasoning behind the conditions and requirements within the policy. It is the intent of this paper to provide other irrigation districts, facing similar urbanization pressures, a foundation for development of similar policies in the hopes of preserving and protecting the water delivery systems so vital to our agricultural communities.born digitalCD-ROMsproceedings (reports)engCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
