Monies from this fund are to be expended by the district at the direction of the board for the voluntary acquisition or conservation of water for use in central Arizona to supplement project water supplies in years when water supplies from the central Arizona project are insufficient to meet the water delivery schedules of non-Indian municipal and industrial users of project water supplies.
