Show lance and emergency repairs have been underway as needed to keep water in the canals and to continue water deliveries to lands which have been planted to crops. The problem is lessening as the ground settles. The project will provide irrigation water for 3,900 acres, of which approximately 2,150 acres are now irrigated. The project lands are divided into 41 farms. b. Navajo Indian Irrigation Project The Navajo Indian Irrigation Project was authorized by the Congress for construction by enactment of P. L. 87-483, approved by the President on June 13, 1962. It is located in northwestern New Mexico along the south side of the San Juan River in the Farmington-Shiprock area. When completed the project will irrigate 110,630 acres of new land on the present and extended Navajo Indian Reservation.

Advance Planning In February 1966, Secretary Udall requested that a committee under leadership of the Bureau of Reclamation be formed to make further studies of the Navajo Indian Irrigation Project. A task force comprised of representatives of the Bureaus of Reclamation and Indian Affairs and the New Mexico State Engineer's office was formed to make these studies. The object of the studies was to develop a plan to optimize the net benefits to the Indians from water allotted to the Navajo Indian Irrigation Project. The studies are not intended in any way to affect the Tribe's entitlement to the water nor the construction of those facilities that would be necessary for delivery. A report summarizing the studies was completed in July 1966 and has been forwarded to the Secretary of the Interior. Construction Activities The contract for construction of the Main Canal headworks and 2 miles of Tunnel No. 1 is about 82 percent complete. The 102 |
