Project Details
Title: Rosedale-Rio Bravo Water Storage District Water Conservation, Energy Efficiency, and Solar Power Project
Summary: Reclamation proposes to contribute $300,000 to the Rosedale-Rio Bravo Water Service District (RRBWSD) through a WaterSMART Water and Energy Efficiency Grant Program grant. The RRBWSD would provide the remaining funding to implement the Project. The Project entails two Project areas: the West Project Area and the East Project Area. In the West Project Area, one mile of the West Intake Canal will be lined from Stockdale Highway northward with a 40-mil polymer lining. Additionally, variable-frequency drive pumping units will be installed on three wells that serve as high-capacity-banking wells in the West Project Area to improve efficiency. The Project would reduce seepage losses, reduce subsurface drain water discharges, and improve water management capabilities. The East Project Area involves water delivery along the South Fork River at Onyx Ranch. The proposed action involves retrofitting up to nine control structures with a combination of sluice gates and acoustic Doppler flow metering devices. By making improvements, system over-diversion and spillage could be reduced.
