<br />- <br /> <br />and the Phelps Canal headgate. Water not diverted to the <br /> <br />irrigation syst~ms is returned to the river at the Phelps <br /> <br />headgate or below the Jeffrey Power Plant. <br /> <br />The irrigation system consists of three separate feeder <br /> <br />canals--the E65, E67, and Phelps Systems--with a combined <br /> <br />length of 193 km of main canal and 756 km of distribution <br /> <br />laterals. Delivering irrigation water since 1940, the <br /> <br />unlined canal system carried water to an area of 46,500 ha <br /> <br />in 1976 in the tri-county area of Gasper, Phelps, and <br /> <br />Kearney Counties. The project has been known locally as <br /> <br />"Tri-County" since the 1930's. <br /> <br />E65 System. The E65 system, originally constructed in 1940, <br /> <br />consists of 88 km of main canal and 302 km of distribution <br /> <br />laterals which supply only partial service to over 13,300 ha. <br /> <br />The area was "water short" since the beginning and was <br /> <br />selected as the first major target for i~proved water <br /> <br />supply. <br /> <br />Phelps Canal System. The Phelps Canal is the District's <br /> <br />main irrigation canal. <br /> <br />The system consists of 91 k~ <br /> <br />. ' <br />o~ maIn <br /> <br />canal, 422 kn of laterals, and 1,356 structures. The Phelps <br /> <br />Canal and lateral system serves water to approximately <br /> <br />30,700 ha within the District boundaries. <br /> <br />-5- <br />
