It is estimated that the Delta-Melville Delta-Melville Canal change at the Jeffery Jef-fery fill site will save over 2200 acre feet of water annually. This is approximately 10 per cent of the total amount of water lost annually. annual-ly. Work has started on the fill section of the job. When this is finished, the entire job will have been completed. The contractor, Ray Smith, is encountering considerable trouble with the soft mud where the new fill goes across the old pond. The canal companies requested ' engineering and soils help to do this job from the local Soil Conservation Con-servation District. It was granted by the Board, through their chairman, chair-man, Fenton Gardner. Soils and engineering specialists from the 3 CS went to work to gather information infor-mation for the construction of this project. Following is a brief summary sum-mary of the findings of these specialists: spe-cialists: 1. The maximum cuts necessary to do this job were 18 feet on the flat and 80 feet on the hill. The latter included only a short section. sec-tion. 2. The total earth to be excavated excava-ted was 68,358 cubic yards. 3. Total fill to be made through the old pond was 50,0u0 cubic yards. 4. Soil borings throughout the area showed that most of the soil in the new canal would be heavy and tight, and that water lost from the new canal would not be excessive. ex-cessive. 5. Total cost was estimated at $25,000.00 G. The canal companies had bridges constructed so that the water losses within the area ciul ! be measured. These measurements showed that 20 acre feet of water was lost each day. The size of th" stream in the canal had very l.ttle influence on the amount of water lot. 7. Total water list during the irrigation season was 32s5 acre feet. At So"! a fort, this amoun'f 'o S13.2 (!. However, it was estimated est-imated that only- two thirds of thit water cmld be saved. Information at the present t r.. indicates that the water losses in the re v canal will te considerably less than was estimated.
