Supp1.eaental irrigation supplies vould be <br />made available to the Montezuma Va11ey area in the central portion of the <br />project area, and full irrigation supplies ~~uld be provided the Dove <br />Creek area in the north'West and the 'rmmoc area to the south. Mmicipal <br />and industrial vater ..auld be furn.i.shed to Cortez in the t-bntezuma Valley <br />area and to Dove Creek in the Dove Creek area.. <br /> <br />Primary regulation of Dolores River rtmof'f' would be provided at McPhee <br />Reservoir to be :formed on the river at the eastern edge of the project <br />area by McPhee Dae and Great Cut Dl.ke.. Al.1 project water, as veIl as <br />existing nonproJect supplies for the lobntezuma Valley area, would be di- <br />verted from the reservoir at Great Out Dike to the Dove Creek Canal. <br /> <br />Major diversions from the Dove Creek ~nAl for the ~bntezuma Valley and <br />Tovaoc areas vould be made near the 1"R.n3.) head to the Great Cut Canal <br />and Narraguinnep Draw. In the J.bnteZtllJft Va.11.ey area project and nonproj- <br />ect vater for irrigation and for _rn'ici:pa.l and industrial use in Cortez <br />'Would be delivered by the Great Cat ('">:oru:lll and existing laterals. Water <br />also would be conveyed by these works through the f.bntezuma Valley area <br />to the head of the Tcwaoc area. Project laterals and drains would be con- <br />structed in the Towaoc area.
