The potential California Park Reservoir on Elk- <br />head Creek and R","p~rt Reservoh. on Fortification Creek ,.oull provide <br />recreation and fish .::nd wildlife opportunities and provide irrigation <br />w~tcr for lands nlong their G~aino6cs. Juniper Reservoir to be cnn- <br />stn:cted on the Y".:npa River would provide water for all project <br />purposes. The De~dman Bench, Axi.::l, and Sunbeam Canals would deliver <br />the wate~ to i~rigation se~vice OrC2Z and to the regulatory reservoirs <br />on Jubb Creek and at P~tcsia. The plan is expected to be modified <br />during the feasibility investigations. <br /> <br />PROJECT PURPOSES:l/ <br /> <br />Il"t'igation <br /> <br />- Supplemental service land <br />Full service land <br />Total <br /> <br />3,790 .::cres <br />42.470 nc,es <br />46,260 .::cres <br /> <br />HU;1icioal and do:::cstic ,{'l<1<;:e:r: O~lC projection lists a need for <br />60,000 acre-feet oi water.
