The potential California Park Reservoir on Elk- <br />head Creek and R&npl1rt Reservoir on Fortification Creek would provide <br />recreation and fish and wildlife opportunities and provide irrigation <br />water for lands along their drainages. Juniper Reservoir to be con- <br />structed on the Yampa River vould provide water for all project <br />purposes. The Deadman Bench. Axial. and Sunbeam Canals would deliver <br />the water to irrigation service areas and to the regulatory reservoirs <br />on Jubb Creek and at Artcsia. The plan is expected to be modified <br />during the feasibility investigations. <br /> <br />paOJECT PURPOSES:l! <br /> <br />-' <br /> <br />lrri~ation - Supplemental service land <br />Full service land <br />Total <br /> <br />3.790 acres <br />42,470 acres <br />46.260 acres <br /> <br />Municipal and d~estic water: One projection lists a need for <br />60.000 acre-feet of water.
