New canals would include <br />the Dolan Mesa Canal heading at Sandstone Reservoir and the Pot Hook Canal <br />heading at Pot Hook Reservoir. New lateral systems would be constructed <br />from the canals for full irrigation service lands. Drains would be con- <br />structed as needed. <br /> <br />Some Federal and state land would be acquired to permit enlargement of <br />existing farm units. <br /> <br />Recreational facilities would be constructed at both Sandstone and Pot Hook <br />Reservoirs. Dead and inactive storage would be available in both reservoirs <br />for fishing and recreation, and minimum flows for fish would be maintained <br />in Savery Creek. <br /> <br />WATER SUPPLY <br /> <br />Irrigation supply (acre-feet) <br />Effects on Colorado River <br />Increase in salt load (tons) <br />Stream depletion (acre-feet) <br />Increase in salinity concentration <br />at Imperial Dam (mg/l) <br />Increase in salt load (O~) <br /> <br />IRRIGATION SERVICE AREA (acres) <br /> <br />44,900 <br /> <br />9,950 <br />23,400 <br /> <br />3.3 <br />.9 <br /> <br />Full service land <br />Supplemental service land <br />Total <br /> <br />Wyoming <br />6,590 <br />10,690 <br />17,280 <br /> <br />Colorado <br />8,080 <br />3,640 <br />11,720 <br /> <br />Total <br />14,670 <br />14,330 <br />29,000 <br /> <br />PROJECT FEATURES <br /> <br />Reservoirs <br />Capacity(acre-feet) <br />Active <br />Inactive <br />Normal water surface(feet) <br />Surface area(acres) <br /> <br />Pot Hook <br />60,000 <br />26,000 <br />34,000 <br />6,688 <br />1,037 <br /> <br />Sandstone (Preliminary <br />15,500 <br />14,000 <br />1,500. <br />6,837 <br />Ii . <br />K. . <br /> <br />data) <br /> <br />.s~c. <br />
