<br />o <br /> <br />,.... <br />-";.,1 <br /> <br />~ <br />- <br />c <br />c <br /> <br />from the Deadman Bench canal at offpeak irrigation periods, <br /> <br />The total storage would be about 29,000 acre-feet and the re <br /> <br />','CHIld be 840 acres of water area at elevation 5871 feet above <br /> <br />sea level, which is 279 feet below the maximum water elevation <br /> <br />planned at the Juniper Reservoir site. Artesia Reservoir, created <br /> <br />by an earth dam about 100 feet hig~would have an active capacity <br /> <br />of 21,000 acre-feet. At minimum drawdown elevation 5837 feet <br /> <br />above sea level, the storage would be 8,000 acre-feet and the water <br /> <br />surface area would be 360 acres. The maximum depth of water would <br /> <br />be 91 feet and the maximum drawdown would be 34 feet. <br /> <br />The project is estimated to cost about 136 million dollars <br /> <br />based on January 1963 prices. The Deadman Bench canal would cost <br /> <br />about 81 million dollars and is by far the most costly feature <br /> <br />28-:-BJ""k in the plan. Juniper Dam and Reservoir sites, again shown here <br /> <br />32 <br /> <br />in an upstream view, would cost a little more than 13 million dollars, <br /> <br />and t.he 30,000-kilowatt powerplant with its related pens! ock, <br /> <br />12 <br />
