Irrigation Delivery Projects
Irrigation Delivery Projects (IDPs)
The MRGCD’s Conservation Program has identified an initial list of five Pilot Projects that will look at irrigation delivery efficiency within our system. These five canals are; Durand Lateral (IDP1), Gabaldon Lateral (IDP2), Gallegos Lateral (IDP3), Pueblo Acequia (IDP4), and San Francisco Lateral (IDP5). These projects will initially be focused on determining the existing efficiency rate in these canals through the installation of inflow and outflow measurement structures and telemetry equipment, along with enhanced delivery control structures. Following a full year of base-line data collection, the District will be able to recommend and implement more efficient on-farm infrastructure and application techniques within these areas. The long-term goal of the IDPs is to further increase the District’s ability to serve farmers and irrigators while continuing to improve the efficiency of our irrigation delivery network.
