<br />... CHAPTER 1. BACKGROUND <br /> <br />~~c.,.... . <br /> <br />6. Become more involved in water monitoring and m~asurement at reservoirs, streams, and <br />canals . <br /> <br />7. . Promote better education of stockholders, officials, an~ staff <br />I <br />8. Promote reasonable methods of efficient water use <br /> <br />Based on these goals, the following water management measures were identified in the 1992 plan: <br />. Provide canal lining to reduce seepage and thus slide potential <br />. Monitor irrigation practices and promote efficient use of water <br />. Maintain headgates and weirs in good condition <br />. Promote better education of water users and staff concerning efficient use of water <br />. Change policy as needed to meet changing conditions <br />. Investigate inefficient practices and encourage multiple use in an attempt to conserve water <br /> <br />Recently, water management practices have focused on daily monitoring of Paonia Reservoir and Fire <br />Mountain Canal. Fire Mountain Canal is monitored to control diversion amounts, leaks, breaks, and <br />unauthorized diversions. Water measurement readings are taken daily at each turnout along the canal. <br />In. addition, FMCC allocates approximately 20 percent of their annual budget to capital improvements. <br />This has resulted in continued canal lining to reduce seepage. <br /> <br />1-9 <br /> <br />I- <br />I <br />~I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />,eI <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />~I <br />I <br />
