Table 3.7 Recommendations for Improvements to Specific Gages or Locations

Gage or Location Recommendation Rationale

Sandia Lakes and Central Avenue

Wasteways

Replacement of the radial gates with Langemann Weir Gates. Also: Should take discharge measurements, to define the rating curves for the gates.

Gives a much better picture of the amount of flow leaving the system within the Albuquerque Division, than previously available.

Algodones DrainFind a way to improve the record being collected.

There is presently no correlation between stage and discharge.

Corrales Main Canal Relocate the gaging station.Backwater problems at the present location.

Peralta Main CanalReview the rating curve and measurements.

This gage is a concrete structure, but manually measured points have a lot of scatter around the theoretical curve.

Cacique AcequiaReview the rating curve for the end of 2001 irrigation season.

Evaluate whether or not backwater conditions were as prevalent in 2001, as they were in 2000.

Table 7.1 Advantages and Concerns Related to Rotational Water Delivery

Advantages Concerns

Greater ditchrider control of water delivery

Cropping patterns: types and practices Weather patterns

Limits irrigator water use through creation of scarcity

Inconvenient: users expect to irrigate when best for them

Labor requirements

Has already been implemented in water short situations

Decreased support for riparian corridor along canals

Pre-season planning and management requirements

General

Most required infrastructure is already in place

Lack of technical infrastructure System layout

Guarantee of equitable water delivery to all users

Concern for lack of adequate water for tail-end of system

Reduced diversions may impact water pressure or head for delivery

More feasible in large scale agriculture than small-scale

Increased weed growth in drying canals

Too many irrigators in urbanized areas: free-flow irrigators

Prevents users from taking water out of turn

Canal characteristics: length, number of users, capacity

Alterations in schedule due to: repairs, maintenance, emergencies

Site Specific

Provides water to Pueblo at a prescheduled time

Pueblo delivery requirement

Water level fluctuations: gophers and erosion
