This project is proposed to construct new pipelines and replace inefficient canal systems with large diameter pipelines. These pipelines will be used to convey water with higher efficiency than gravity canal systems and are proposed to service a greater area within the district. The pipelines are proposed to have standpipes. Water can be pumped into …
This project is proposed to construct new reservoirs within the Corcoran Irrigation District to store water in times when water is available as well as recharge in the area. It is proposed to construct 300 acres to 900 acres of additional ponds, capable of storing water six feet deep, for an annual average storage benefit …

This project proposes to modify existing conveyance systems within the CID boundary to supply water for recharge as well as storage. The goal is to have the capacity to divert water around the CID, to areas where the water can be used for On-Farm Flood Capture, Aquifer Storage and Recovery, Above Ground Storage as well …

The Corcoran Irrigation District Flood Capture and Basin Recharge and Storage Project is a project to increase conveyance capacity to maximize the unused intentional recharge capacity of existing ponds. The key component is to increase the size of the conveyance system utilizing additional unused but available flood flows for recharging. The increased flows will be …

Flood water can be captured and recharged on acreage within the CID area on landowner lands, for pre-irrigation, storage and recharge to the upper and the lower aquifers. The project will recharge the upper aquifer benefiting the shallow wells in the area. And over time and through downward leakage the lower aquifer will be recharged, …

Scheduled and Flood water can be used to recharge the lower aquifer utilizing existing wells that are perforated below the Corcoran clay layers. It is assumed that wells can recharge the lower aquifer at flow rated equal to half the production rate of the well. An assumption of 1.5 cfs per well can recharge back …
