CLEAN AND ABUNDANT WATER FOR HUMAN COMMUNITIES
Protect and Enhance Watersheds and Ecosystems that Provide Water Quality and Supply Benefits
This project aims to increase the water efficiency for agricultural production, provide environmental benefits to threatened species, and strengthen the economic viability for landowners. This is achieved through 4,300 feet of pipe, irrigation valves, and soil moisture sensors. The result is a reduction in the diversion time and an increase in time a full water right of 11.9 cfs can be left instream.
