- 02: Improving regional water use efficiency
- 12: Improve public awareness
Project Objective
Project Funding Area
Lahontan
Project Description
This proposed project introduces Smart Controllers to maximize irrigation control of water use during the extreme environment condition and helps to manage water use in a normal environment as well. Smart Controllers would create an efficient schedule and give the ability to accommodate micro bursts and downpours of rain. The completion of the Barstow Community College garden project will give way to a High Desert regional concept.

Project Description
The Agency’s water system would benefit from the following improvements some of which have been identified by CA Dept. of Public Health as sanitary or operational deficiencies. Upgrades include: generator connectors and portable generators for wells and booster stations, Sanitary upgrades at one well in Flamingo Heights, Increased reservoir storage at Well 10 hauling station, “A” Booster station reconfiguration and upgrade, system-wide leak detection, flow meter bench test upgrades, intertie with HDWD for emergency service, fire hydrant upgrades (outside of Project No. 74), protection of water pipelines that cross vunerable washes (e.g. bury crossings deeper, encasements or concrete swales at ground level across washes, well rehabilitation, pump and motor upgrades for energy efficiency, solar power for energy efficiency.

- 5: Optimize regions water-related assets
Project Objective
Project Funding Area
Colorado, Lahontan
Project Description
There has been ongoing discussion for years regarding storm water flow volume and basin contribution from ungagged desert washes. Simple gages could be installed at road under-crossings. These crossings often have concrete lined channels which makes them ideally suited as ready-made weirs for ephemeral stream gages. Place a pressure transducer in a one-foot steel pipe with holes drilled in it and bolt it to the side of the concrete channel and key washes could be accurately gaged for storm flow.

- 12: Improve public awareness
Project Objective
Project Funding Area
Lahontan
Project Description
Helendale Community Park is only partially constructed. Current irrigation is using temporary agricultural pipe connected to our Ag well to irrigate a small section of grass. Project installs and maintains grass fields which will mitigate the blow sand and provide a community park play area for under-served children within the CSD boundary.

- 10: Preserve water quality
Project Objective
Project Funding Area
Lahontan
Project Description
Design and construction of new water supply well (Designated as Well #10) to replace old low-volume production wells which also are showing Gross Alpha emitters as well as arsenic contamination. The project includes the purchase of a well site, drilling of the well, full equiping and testing, easements for a transmission line from well site to connect to current southern terminous of the District water system.

- 10: Preserve water quality
Project Objective
Project Funding Area
Lahontan
Project Description
Water quality constituents have impacted beneficial use of groundwater in the region around the Helendale fault. Water quality anomalies were further identified in the 2003 URS Transition Zone Report and the 2007 Schlumberger Salt Model Report. The dataset has matured since these earlier studies were completed and this would be a good point to take another look at the data and try to further our understanding of the groundwater chemistry affecting this area. Work could include water quality testing, drilling and well installation, geophysical investigations, and any other scientific techniques that may result in a better understanding of the water quality conditions in the region.
