Option 3: Land Fallowing <br />It was assumed that 7,800 acres would be included in a land fallowing program in <br />Nebraska, as summarized in the following table. <br />Table III -15 <br />Land Fallowing Program <br />Reach <br />Acres Fallowed <br />Table III -14 <br />500 <br />Reach 14 <br />Deficit Irrigation - Reductions in Consumptive Use (ac -ft) <br />Month <br />Reach 16 <br />Reach 17 <br />Reach 18 <br />Reach 19 <br />October <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />November <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />December <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />January <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />February <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />March <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />April <br />7 <br />12 <br />10 <br />4 <br />May <br />14 <br />29 <br />23 <br />9 <br />June <br />162 <br />327 <br />413 <br />367 <br />July <br />399 <br />948 <br />1236 <br />1051 <br />August <br />366 <br />765 <br />1001 <br />906 <br />September <br />28 <br />53 <br />56 <br />37 <br />Annual <br />976 <br />2135 <br />2739 <br />2375 <br />Option 3: Land Fallowing <br />It was assumed that 7,800 acres would be included in a land fallowing program in <br />Nebraska, as summarized in the following table. <br />Table III -15 <br />Land Fallowing Program <br />Reach <br />Acres Fallowed <br />Reach 10 <br />500 <br />Reach 14 <br />500 <br />Reach 15 <br />600 <br />Reach 16 <br />800 <br />Reach 17 <br />1,600 <br />Reach 18 <br />2,000 <br />Reach 19 <br />1,800 <br />Annual Total <br />7,800 <br />The amount of land fallowed in each reach was based on the distribution of acres <br />irrigated with surface supplies. The tables below show the proposed average monthly <br />reductions in diversions and the reductions in on -farm deliveries for each reach. Although <br />the reductions in diversions were assigned to a reach based on the distribution of irrigated <br />acres, in some cases the reductions would occur further upstream depending on the <br />location of the mainstem headgate. The amount delivered on -farm was based on the <br />average conveyance loss for each reach. Data on conveyance losses was based on <br />county -level information obtained from USGS Water Use Data for 1995. <br />\ \DN00 \E- DRIVE\PROJECTS\Platte\ Work Products \Task 9 \wapc report (Version 7).doc 28 <br />
