by 6.2%, which is equivalent to 8,271 acre-feet per year. The conserved water will reduce groundwater
withdrawals and surface water use in the area. A portion of the groundwater that will not be used for
irrigation as a result of this project will be used to maintain in-stream flows.

Nevada
Mason Valley Conservation District, Campbell Canal Water Conservation Project
Reclamation Funding: $82,272 Total Project Cost: $164,772

The Mason Valley Conservation District, located near Reno, Nevada, will upgrade the gate structure at the
junction of the East and West Campbell Canals, install data loggers for continuous flow monitoring and
tracking, and install diversion gates controlled by a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition and
Automation system. The project is expected to result in water savings of 1,203 acre-feet annually that is
currently lost to delivery inefficiencies. Water saved through the project will be available for downstream
users and instream flows to benefit Walker Lake.

Southern Nevada Water Authority, Water Smart Landscapes Rebate Program
Reclamation Funding: $300,000 Total Project Cost: $3,300,000

The Southern Nevada Water Authority in Las Vegas, Nevada, will expand its landscape rebate program,
which provides a financial incentive for residential property owners to replace turf with water efficient
landscaping. The project is expected to result in the replacement of approximately 1,833,333 square feet of
turf, with an expected annual water savings of 225 acre-feet.

New Mexico
Elephant Butte Irrigation District, Picacho WHEN Project
Reclamation Funding: $998,182 Total Project Cost: $2,028,394

The Elephant Butte Irrigation District, located in Las Cruces, New Mexico, will convert two open channel
laterals to 8,797 feet of pipe, install three new high-flow lift pumps, and install meters at the new piped
laterals. The project is expected to conserve 2,362 acre-feet of water per year currently lost to seepage and
evaporation. Conserved water will be used to improve water delivery reliability for irrigators in the area
and will also reduce groundwater withdrawals.

Oregon
West Extension Irrigation District, Boardman East Piping and Pressurization Water Conservation
Project
Reclamation Funding: $530,000 Total Project Cost: $1,178,665

The West Extension Irrigation District, on the Columbia River near Umatilla, Oregon, will convert 4.5
miles of open lateral to buried pipe, eliminate 1.5 miles of open lateral, and install three pump stations for
metered, pressurized irrigation water delivery. The project is expected to result in annual water savings of
771 acre-feet, which is currently lost to seepage, evaporation, and operational losses. Conserved water will
increase drought resiliency in the water system.
