He said he was not certain of the exact total acre-feet at first, but noted the tribe recognized an additional 10,000 acre-feet for future state law-based water rights, bringing the total to about 17,000 acre-feet per year. He also said the rental pool allocation is only a fraction of that total and confirmed that the description of the non-consumptive rights was accurate.
