<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />immediate implementation by the municipalities in northeastern <br />Colorado who Windy Gap Project participants to contractually institute <br />agricultural to municipalities relying on agricultural water during dry <br />years is not new, but has not been accomplished in Colorado. <br />University of Northern Colorado - requested $100,000. The <br />committee recommended funding the full amount. The project consists <br />of building an irrigation system for watering 118 acres of campus lawns <br />with raw water instead of purchasing treated water from the City of <br />Greeley. Plans include expanding their xeriscape plots and the use of <br />telemetry to irrigate based on soil moisture content measures. The <br />project includes monitoring the change in water use and the utilization <br />of the latest technology. <br />Y.W Well Testing Association - requested $3,750. The committee <br />recommended finding the full amount. The project consists of <br />purchasing a laptop computer, software and portable printer to <br />improve the well testing program and computerize the gypsum block <br />calculations so these programs produce professional reports in the <br />field. <br />Bent Soil Conservation District. requested $36,480. The committee <br />recommended funding the full amount. The project consists of <br />demonstrating the applicability of surge technology on heavy textured <br />soils in Bent Soil Conservation District, documenting the impact of <br />surge irrigation technology on irrigation efficiency, farm economics, <br />management, plat-soil-water relationships, and develop the media <br />resources needed to convey this information to others. The project will <br />also evaluate the affects of surge technology on ground water resources <br />and irrigation return flows to Arkansas river. <br />Colorado State University Cooperative Extension - requested $37,760. <br />The committee recommended funding the fill amount. The project <br />consists of comparing subsurface micro-irrigation using two types of <br />buried driplines to each other and surface method of irrigation in <br />Delta. During each irrigation, water use and soil moisture tension will <br />be recorded for all methods to evaluate water use efficiency in terms <br />of production. Soil moisture distribution and salinity levels will be <br />monitored at three depths for each plot. <br /> <br />The motion was seconded by Janice Sheftel and the motion was passed <br />(7-0). <br /> <br />Ken Salazar, David Harrison, Jim Lochhead were absent <br /> <br />16.
