The average direct irrigation water amount, not including reservoir storage deliveries,
available at the Wadley Farms No. 3 headgate from the Signal Ditch with five FHL
shares is 90.8 acre -feet, as compared to 54.5 acre -feet with three shares. The average
yield for the Wadley Reservoir rights remains at 74.0 acre -feet with either 3 or 5 shares.
This gives a total average annual water availability for the HOA of 164.8 acre -feet with 5
shares as compared to 128.5 acre -feet with 3 shares, for an increase on average of 30.4°0.
Based on the historic record, the minimum amount available at the Wadley Farms No. 3
headgate for direct irrigation yield with the five FHL shares, without inclusion of storage
water deliveries, would be 44.4 acre -feet as compared to the minimum of 26.6 acre -feet
for three FHL shares in the drought year of 1954. The minimum total average annual
water availability, including both direct irrigation and reservoir storage deliveries, with 5
shares would be 85.2 acre -feet as compared to the minimum of 67.4 acre -feet which
occurred with ) shares in 1954. Therefore, the total annual delivery which the HOA
could expect on average with ownership of 5 FHL shares and the Wadley Reservoir
rights is 164.8 acre -feet and the minimum dry year total delivery is 85.2 acre -feet.
