CLEAN AND ABUNDANT WATER FOR HUMAN COMMUNITIES
Ensure Water Supply Reliability and Quality
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.
