Engineering Projects
Corrales Siphon Replacement Project
Replacement of old wood stave with a new pipeline using modern trenchless technology. This improvement enhances the reliability and efficiency of water conveyance to the west side of Corrales while minimizing surface disturbance and maintaining continuity of district operations.
Feeder 3 Transmission Line Project
Development of a new pump station and transmission line at the Feeder No. 3 canal to improve operational flexibility within the Riverside Drain system. This project allows available water supply to be redirected into Feeder 3, enhancing distribution efficiency and supporting more reliable delivery to irrigators.
Socorro Main Canal Channel lining
Enhancements to the Socorro Main Canal included new concrete lining, concrete canvas applications, and other channel stabilization improvements. The project also upgraded turnouts, weirs, and gates to improve flow control, reduce water loss, and strengthen long‑term system performance.
Low Flow Conveyance Channel
This project improves conveyance and channel capacity through targeted maintenance activities along the Low Flow Conveyance Channel. Work includes dredging, vegetation removal, and mowing to restore flow efficiency, enhance hydraulic performance, and support reliable system operations.
