Tests <br /> <br />Seepage tests on the Upper Fruitland Canal were conducted between <br />November 13 and 20, 1992. Cross sections and canal bottom <br />gradients were surveyed by Reclamation personnel in September <br />1992 for both test sites. Earth dams to form test ponds 1 and 2 <br />were constructed on November 13 and 16. Water was diverted to <br />the canal to fill these ponds on November 16, 1992. Staff gage <br />readings were taken for 72 hours ending on November 20, 1992. <br />The weather during these tests was cool with approximately 2 <br />inches of snow. <br /> <br />Canal seepage Rates <br /> <br />The following are the calculated canal seepage rates for the two <br />test sites: <br />- Test Pond No. 1 - Seepage rate = 0.09 ft'/ft2/day <br />- Test Pond No.2 - Seepage rate = 0.14 ft3/ft2/day <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />7 <br />
