Ridges Basin Reservoir would provide the primary long-term storage needed for <br />the Project. Additional storage would be provided at the off-stream Southern Ute Reservoir. <br />The Southern Ute Reservoir would receive water diverted from the La Plata River near the <br />Colorado-New Mexico state line and would be constructed under Phase II with non-federal <br />funds. <br /> <br />Irrigation water would be provided for full and supplemental service land in Colorado and <br />New Mexico. Water for land in Colorado would be pumped from Ridges Basin Reservoir <br />by the Ridges Basin Pumping Plant and conveyed through the Dry Side Canal, except that <br />land too high to be served from the canal would receive water by exchange which would <br />be diverted directly from the La Plata River through existing irrigation ditches.
