The Turlock Irrigation District will receive $7.93 million under a Project Grant award from the Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation's Reclamation States Emergency Drought Relief program (CFDA 15.514) to construct a 38-acre regulating reservoir. The reservoir will capture operational spills from water delivery canals during periods of excess supply and return the stored flows to canals during times of water shortages. This project aims to improve water management of 10,000 acre-feet per year and help achieve drought resiliency for the District, which is located in an area prone to multi-year droughts and currently experiencing extreme drought conditions. The reservoir will also reduce groundwater pumping, increase operational flexibility and provide reliable water supply for District customers. Work will be completed by December 31, 2023 to support the District's agricultural water management and drought plans.
