The District is continuing to operate and maintain the <br />transferred works in an exemplary manner. <br /> <br />Most of the irrigation districts continued to do an excellent job in <br />placing realistic water orders during the year. <br /> <br />Senator Wash Regulating Reservoir has provided flexibility in river <br />operations and has been an effective means of reregulating riverflow. <br /> <br />The Imperial Dam Advisory Board has provided a means for the members to <br />discuss problems of mutual concern related to the delivery of water at <br />Imperial Dam. <br /> <br />Most of the surplus flows arriving at Imperial Dam were scheduled through <br />Pilot Knob Power Plant to maximize power production. <br /> <br />Sufficient water was scheduled below Imperial Dam <br />concentrations of sediment returned to the California <br />from the All-American Canal desilting basins. <br /> <br />to remove high <br />Sluiceway Channel <br /> <br />20 <br />
