Little Prickly Pear Creek Irrigation Improvements (2006) Wirth Ranch
Wirth Ranch History
|
|
Project History The Wirth Ranch had been using flood irrigation to service their hayfield for the last 50 years, with typical use of 3-6 cfs from a diversion located on Little Prickly Pear Creek. The landowner realized that the existing flood irrigation to their hayfield was better serviced with sprinkler irrigation, from a conservation and longevity standpoint. The Wirth Ranch decided to approach numerous funding agencies for assistance. The result was successful grant funding and the reduction of the diversion of Little Prickly Pear Creek to 0.75 cfs. |
