NCRP Urban and Multibenefit Drought Relief Grant
Completed
This project will line 6,000' of MWCD's main canal where significant transmission or delivery loss occurs to improve water supply reliability for agriculture, municipal users and enhance instream conditions to benefit salmonids. MWCD will also purchase and install two water quality monitor sensors. In exchange for lining reaches of MWCD’s main canal, MWCD will permanently allocate the volume of water conserved, estimated at 660 AFY, for instream benefit. The public benefit results in increased and more flows for fish and wildlife, a public trust resource.

General Information
Project Description Narrative (1,000 character limit)
This funding request is for the last section of approved and permitted unlined canal in the southern reach of the main canal. While increasing delivery dependability to agriculture and municipal water for the City of Montague, this proposal presents numerous opportunities to enhance instream conditions in the most important spawning and rearing reach of the Shasta River, specifically for the listed SONCC Coho salmon. The limited storage this year was used for human consumption, instream enhancement and fire protection.
