<br />001435 <br /> <br />1. Determination of Canal Efficiencies <br /> <br />The District has executed a three year contract with the United States <br />Bureau of Reclamation which is designed to determine canal losses <br />and efficiencies on each of the eleven project ditches. This project is <br />jointly funded by the United States Bureau of Reclamation <br />($125,000), and the District ($50,000) and will provide invaluable <br />information required by the District to refine its water allocation <br />responsibility. <br /> <br />2. Verification of Irrigated Acreage <br /> <br />The District is committed to develop, in cooperation with the Colorado <br />Water Conservation Board and the United States Bureau of <br />Reclamation, a methodology for identifying and verifying, on an <br />annual basis, lands to be irrigated within the Project. This verification <br />procedure is necessary to ensure that irrigated lands do not exceed, <br />in any year, the 19,499 acres allowed by the Project authorization. <br />Contracts to implement the acreage verification program are currently <br />being negotiated. <br /> <br />3 <br />
