The Elephant Butte Irrigation District (EBID) was awarded a $217,929.15 Project Grant from the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation through the WaterSMART (Sustain and Manage America’s Resources for Tomorrow) program. EBID will implement an integrated set of system modernization measures on the Leasburg Canal to conserve water and improve delivery of surface water to EBID members. Specifically, EBID will add electric motor actuators to an existing check structure to allow for improved control of diversion flow rates, upstream water pressure, and downstream flow. EBID will also construct a new metering station with a concrete lining, stilling well, metering bridge, and acoustic Doppler sensor to establish an essential site for accurate water flow measurement and management. The motorized and eventually automated check structure combined with the new metering station will significantly improve EBID's ability to manage operations on the Leasburg Main Canal, which delivers water to approximately 31,600 acres of land. The project is expected to be completed by December 31, 2024.
