Association of California Water Agencies’ Post

Join us July 16 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m at the City of Moses Lake’s Civic Center Council Chambers, 401 South Balsam Street, Moses Lake, WA. Attendees will have an opportunity to learn more about the proposed Watershed Plan and submit their comments. ECBID, along with project partners, seek federal funding through the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources and Conservation Service (NRCS) Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Program, Public Law 83-566 (PL 83-566) to construct surface water distribution systems that would replace acre-for-acre groundwater irrigation on 70,000 acres in the Odessa Subarea with 164,000 acre-feet of new Columbia River diversions. The distribution systems are part of the area’s Odessa Groundwater Replacement Program (OGWRP) and aim to reduce the declining groundwater levels in the Odessa Subarea aquifer, while supporting existing agricultural land use. The proposed project is located within ECBID in Central Washington. To be eligible for NRCS federal funding, the project sponsor, ECBID, and project partners are developing a Watershed Plan that will comply with PL 83-566 program requirements. This scoping meeting, and associated scoping period, is the first major opportunity for public participation related to the Watershed Plan. Learn more at: https://lnkd.in/gdU2c2vd

Check out our article on Jake Hamill and a proposal to supplement the Colorado River from our March issue. Irrigation Leader magazine was recently contacted by a reader with a unique idea for supplementing the Colorado River. Recognizing that basin transfers are always controversial, this magazine believes the gentleman’s idea is worthy of sharing. The Hamill family has been ranching in Colorado for more than 100 years, and Jake Hamill has experience in range water management and irrigation systems and has served on a board for weather modification. on a board for weather modification. His experience with agriculture, water, and the use of the natural landscape has brought forth a new idea: using water from the eastern slope of the Continental Divide to ease the shortage of water in the southwestern states. One could divert water from the Yellowstone River basin via gravity through a tunnel in the Continental Divide, then convey it downhill to Flaming Gorge Reservoir, south of Green River, Wyoming. Water from Flaming Gorge Reservoir continues down the Green River before joining the Colorado River in Canyonlands National Park outside Moab, Utah. https://bit.ly/3VLQLag #ColoradoRiver #WaterSupplementation #WaterManagement #WaterSecurity #ColoradoBasin #IrrigationSolutions #WaterInnovation #SustainableWater #RiverManagement #WaterResources

By using the Fusion to treat both black and grey water, every community in the country can have access to flush toilets, without using a single drop of potable water. Treated water from the Fusion can be used for toilet flushing. Where space is limited, the Fusion can be installed in walkways or public open spaces. Excess treated water can be used for irrigation purposes. Fusion is the only plant that can handle from one household to communities, from informal settlements to high income estates, from in-urban use to the most remote areas.

Landscape Maintenance Companies are finally realizing💡 that Smart Irrigation Controllers are the future of their business! The fact is, if you have to drive to each controller to make adjustments, your company is losing out on profitability💰, and your customer isn’t getting the level of service they deserve!👎 Over the past several years, I’ve had the opportunity to speak with many companies around the country about Water Management💦 and Smart Irrigation Controllers📲. The top three questions are always the same: 1. How did you implement Smart Irrigation Controllers throughout your business? · Set a company-wide goal and ensure everyone is committed💯 to achieving it. Leadership must champion the cause and provide the necessary training and resources. Start with a pilot portfolio (100-200 controllers) to start the process and to work out any kinks. Once successful, roll out the technology across all your projects. Weathermatic offers the best🙌 solution to help landscape maintenance companies convert their traditional irrigation controllers to smart controllers. Their monthly pricing structure, customer support, training, and overall warranty make them an amazing partner for this transition.😎 2. How do you "sell" them to all of your customers? ·  Make it part of your standard offering to all new customers and present it as a value-added service that sets your business apart from the competition!🤓 Educate all of your current customers on the benefits of Smart Irrigation Controllers, including water savings, cost efficiency, and convenience, and build this into their contract renewal. Provide case studies and real-life examples to demonstrate their effectiveness. Offer a comparison of traditional versus smart systems to highlight the long-term savings and environmental impact‼️ 3. How long did it take to see the Return on Investment (ROI)? ·  The ROI can vary based on the scale of implementation and the specific needs of your projects. There is no doubt it’s a large undertaking, with a big commitment, however, most companies start seeing the benefits within the first year.💵 Reduction of water usage for the customer is immediate, customer satisfaction increases, and irrigation billing goes up due to more efficient water management. Additionally, the savings on labor costs from not having to manually adjust controllers, coupled with fewer service calls, contribute to a quicker ROI. The overall impact is a more streamlined operation that enhances both profitability and customer loyalty.
