Sec. 4.  The legislature finds that installation of trickle irrigation systems in climatically and economically suitable areas may result in significant water savings.  The legislature further finds that encouraging the voluntary transfer of the water savings will provide an incentive for the installation of trickle irrigation systems. 

    Therefore, the legislature directs the committee on natural resources and parks in the house of representatives and the committee on energy and utilities in the senate to jointly: (1) Study the physical, legal, and economic feasibility of transferring water saved from installation of trickle irrigation systems; (2) explore the relationship between a possible water transfer program connected to water savings from trickle irrigation systems and the state's existing trust water rights program; and (3) make recommendations for legislation to implement a transfer program for savings from trickle irrigation systems, if the committees determine that such a program is in the public interest.  The committees shall coordinate the study with the agriculture committees in the senate and the house of representatives.  The committees shall report their findings and recommendations to the legislature by December 1, 1993."
