The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation, through its WaterSMART (Sustain and Manage America's Resources for Tomorrow) program (CFDA 15.507), awarded a $648,000 Project Grant to the Last Chance Canal Company in Grace, ID. The funding will be used to implement a modernized Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system for the canal company, including the installation of 11 SCADA sites with telemetry, flumes, and automated gates, as well as a software program to manage the system and provide real-time remote data. This project is expected to reduce spills at the end of the main canals and over-deliveries, resulting in an annual water savings of 2,270 acre-feet. By reducing over-deliveries and spills, the project will allow the Last Chance Canal Company to decrease its diversions, enabling the conserved water to remain in the Bear River.
