Irrigation districts share water for mutual gain
Date:
February 27, 2013
Central Oregon Irrigation District (COID) is in the process of piping almost one mile of their I-Lateral canal, located near the Alfalfa Store & Feed. The conserved water from this project will be transferred to farms in North Unit Irrigation District (NUID). NUID will, in turn, transfer 5 cfs instream to the Crooked River to restore critical steelhead habitat. This project upgrades COID's canal system while reducing NUID's reliance on Crooked River water. A win across the board for the irrigation districts and fish!
