<br /> <br />. <br /> <br />CHAPTER II <br /> <br />COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br /> <br />The estimated average diversion requirement of 2,800 acre-feet or 46 <br />second-feet in July was increased to 60 second~feet to provide for peak <br />capacity requirements in the canal within the month. <br /> <br />Wonsits Canal areao--The estimat~d irrigation diversion requirements <br />at the head of the Wonsits Canal, whiqh would divert from Red Wash, and the <br />estimated return flows that would be ~vailable in the channel of this wash <br />from irrigation diversions to the upstream Deadman Bench area are summar- <br />ized below. The irrigable area that would be served under the canal <br />would total aDout 5,800 acres. The estimated available return flows exceed <br />the irrigation diversion requirement in all months, indicating that the <br />diversion requirements would be fully met from the return flows. <br /> <br />Average monthly irrigation diversion requirements at head of <br />Wonsits Canal and available return flow from Deadman Bench <br /> (Unit--acre-feet) <br /> Canal Average Estimate of <br /> Requirement at turnouts seepage diversion available <br /> from canal and requirement return flow <br /> Total for operational at head of from Deadman <br />Month Per acre 800 acres losses canal Bench area <br /> May 0.31 1, 00 1,700 3,500 ,700 <br /> June 093 5,400 1,400 6,800 7,500 <br />.

It should be recognized that most of the distribution losses <br />in the sy.stem below Artesia Reservoir for serving this area are included <br />in the lateral losses allowed for in the estimated requirement at the <br />Artesia Canal turnouts. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />35 <br /> <br />
