KEEP UP
Turlock Irrigation District has made changes to a project already begun in Hilmar that will hopefully preserve water conservation efforts They are constructing a small abandoned reservoir to catch excess water from the canal. The reservoir will save up to 9,000 acre-feet of water per year. The project will cost roughly 2.15 million dollars but with the addition of concrete bottom it increases the price by 915,000. The reason for the concrete bottom is the amount of surface water it will collect which will outweigh the cost benefit analysis. This project is supposed to be a huge addition to Hilmar's water conservation plan.
