<br />There are ,33 existing ditch systems within Lhe ~OlVer SouLh Platte
<br />W.ter Conservancy Distriet which could use project water, Mo~t of
<br />tbe smaller ditch companies do not employ operatlOn and ma.mte-
<br />nance personnel or own equipment. Tbe <;lircctors .or officers of the
<br />companies provide the management and m some lnstances operate
<br />the systems, The larger cOffil'anies and districts employ a manager
<br />or superintendont and. operatmg pergonnel. They own some me.m~e-
<br />nance equipment but rely on local contractors .to ~erfo~m the major
<br />maintenance jobs. The systems are generally mamtamed m g?od oper-
<br />ating condition. In the paet.., floods tuong the Sout,h Pla.tte RIver have
<br />done considerable damage to diversion dams, canal beadworksr, and
<br />c.nals located in the flood plain, This h.zard would be mlltenally
<br />reduced by construction of the Narrows Dam.
