direct flow right is out of priority near the end of the irrigation season, Fort Morgan will <br />go to `half head' delivery, or 220 cfs in the canal. The `half head' delivery stretches out <br />the reservoir release water to allow for deliveries into September. When `half head' <br />delivery occurs, irrigation wells are typically in use. <br />• Diversions for irrigation needs will typically stop near the middle of September, and the <br />canal will only continue to divert water for the Western Sugar Plant through the winter <br />months. <br />• Fort Morgan will typically run augmentation water and use the canal as the recharge site <br />during spring and in the last couple of weeks in October, prior to the reservoir filling. <br />Fort Morgan can run augmentation water to recharge sites other than the ditch while <br />diverting irrigation water, and typically does so in the early spring or during heavy <br />runoff. <br />re to find more information <br />The Water District 1 Meeting Notes prepared for SPDSS Task 3 -Identify Key Diversion <br />Structures contain additional information on ditch and reservoir operations within the <br />water district. <br />^ The Irrigated Acreage Assessment GIS Coverage prepared for SPDSS displays the area <br />served by the Jackson Lake & Fort Morgan Canal System.
