<br />~'i I .. <br /> <br />'ft31S~6 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />1964 Plan <br /> <br />A contract will be let this year to install a radial gate in the <br />ungated orifice in the spillway, If "mos t probable" or "reasonable <br />maximum" conditions should occur, special releases will be made to <br />accommodate this construction. <br /> <br />IRR!GATION OPERATIONS <br /> <br />It is estimated that 122,000 acres under the Kansas River Projeets will <br />be irrigated in 1964. Of this, 76,000 acres are in Nebraska and 46,000 <br />acres in Kansas, The acreS expected to be irrigated in 1964 are shown <br />by eanals in Table 6. The irrigable acreS and probable canal diversions <br />for 1964 under the "normal," "dry" and "wet" yeara are shown graphically <br />on Exhibits 12 through 20. <br /> <br />() <br /> <br />The expected canal operations for 1964 are discussed in the following <br />paragrpahs for each irrigation district. <br /> <br />Frenchman Valley and H&RW Irrigation Districts <br /> <br />The irrigated lands in these two districts are served from the Culbertson <br />Canal and the Culbertson Extension Canal. The two systems are operated <br />under joint management, The transportation losses of the main Culbertson <br />Canal are shared by both districts. There are 8,800 acres in the <br />Frenchman Valley Irrigation District and 10,500 scres in the H&RW <br />Irrigation District which are expected to be irrigated. <br /> <br />In addition to meeting the irrigation demands of Frenchman Valley <br />and the H&RW Irrigation Districts, approximately 150 acre-feet will be <br />needed for sediment sluicing operations at the Culbertson Diversion Dam, <br /> <br />The Frenchman Creek erosion control program is scheduled to begin in <br />in 1964, but there will be no special water requirements, <br /> <br />Frenchman-Cambridge Irrigation District <br /> <br />The Irrigation District will operate and maintain the Bartley, Cambridge, <br />and Meeker-Driftwood systems. The Bureau of Reclamation will maintain <br />and the District will operate the partially developed Red Willow Canal <br />system in 1964. It is estimated that 36,700 acres will be irrigated <br />by these four systems in 1964. <br /> <br />Scheduled to start in 1964 and to continue for the next five years is <br />a water use atudy in the area served by the Meeker-Driftwood aystem, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />15 <br />
