(e) Subtract the product in subdivision (d) of this paragraph from the sum in subdivision (c) of this paragraph. The result is the municipal and industrial replenishment obligation for the eastern protection zone north for the year, except that if the result is less than zero, there is no replenishment obligation.
4. The director shall calculate the municipal and industrial replenishment obligation for the eastern protection zone south for the year as follows:
(a) Determine the total amount of underground water and stored water withdrawn during the year from within the eastern protection zone south for municipal uses and industrial uses within an eastern protection zone, as reported to the director under sections 45-632, 45-875.01 and 45-2602. For the purposes of this subdivision, stored water does not include any water stored at a storage facility located within the eastern protection zone south.
(b) Determine the total amount of underground water and stored water withdrawn during the year by a water company from within the eastern protection zone south and used for municipal uses within the eastern protection zone north. For the purposes of this subdivision, stored water does not include any water stored at a storage facility located within the eastern protection zone south.
(c) Subtract the volume in subdivision (b) of this paragraph from the volume in subdivision (a) of this paragraph.
(d) Multiply the total number of municipal acres and industrial acres within the eastern protection zones on which the water determined in subdivision (a) of this paragraph other than water determined in subdivision (b) of this paragraph was used during the year by 2.33 acre-feet.
(e) Subtract the product in subdivision (d) of this paragraph from the difference in subdivision (c) of this paragraph. The result is the municipal and industrial replenishment obligation for the eastern protection zone south for the year, except that if the result is less than zero, there is no replenishment obligation.
5. The director shall calculate the irrigation replenishment obligation for the western municipal and industrial protection zone and the western municipal protection zone for the year as follows:
(a) Determine the total amount of underground water and stored water withdrawn during the year from within the western municipal and industrial protection zone and the western municipal protection zone and used for the irrigation of lands within those protection zones, as reported to the director on the annual reports required by sections 45-632, 45-875.01 and 45-2602.
