Show The Contra Costa Canal furnishes both munici- pal and irrigation water. Friant Dam provides flood control and irrigation water and water supplies for underground storage. Some non-Federal projects, like Hetch Hetchy Reservoir (electric power and water supply) and Don Pedro Reservoir also are multiple-purpose. Multiple-Purpose Projects under Construction and Authorized Folsom Dam, when completed by the Corps of Engineers, will have flood control, power genera- tion, municipal water supply, and irrigation func- tions. The authorized Sly Park Reservoir of the Bureau of Reclamation will supply irrigation water and municipaJ water. The Solano Project authorized for Bureau of Reclamation construction will also furnish both irrigation and domestic water. Two other Corps of Engineers "under construc- tion" projects, besides Folsom, have multiple func- tions. These are Isabella and Pine Flat Reservoirs, which have flood control and irrigation functions. A number of private and local public projects for irrigation, power, or municipal supply also serve other purposes. Recreational benefits are provided incidentally at most of the reservoirs constructed for other purposes. Projects of the Corps authorized but not under construction having multiple-purpose use are Iron Canyon and New Melones Reservoirs, for flood control, irrigation, and power; and the Success, Terminus, and New Hogan Reservoirs for flood control and irrigation. Future Programs All the reservoir projects recommended by the Chief of Engineers to the Secretary of the Army or under consideration are either multiple-purpose projects or call for eventual installation of addi- tional functions at reservoirs existing or under con- struction. Most of the numerous projects in the Bureau of Reclamation's plan for the Central Valley also have multiple-purpose functions. 104 |
