 2  projects that will be selected for financial assistance.  The
 3  governing boards may establish factors to determine project
 4  funding, however, significant weight shall be given to the

 7  environmental benefits by preventing or limiting adverse water
 8  resource impacts.
 9         2.  Whether the project reduces competition for water
10  supplies.
11         3.  Whether the project brings about replacement of
12  traditional sources in order to help implement a minimum flow
13  or level or a reservation.
14         4.  Whether the project will be implemented by a
15  consumptive use permittee that has achieved the targets
16  contained in a goal based water conservation program approved
17  pursuant to s. 373.227.
18         5.  The quantity of water supplied by the project as
19  compared to its cost.
20         6.  Projects in which the construction and delivery to
21  end users of reuse water is a major component.
22         7.  Whether the project will be implemented by a
23  multi-jurisdictional water supply entity or regional water
24  supply authority.
