Show Kay Family Farm Sprinkler Irrigation Annual Water Conservation: 63 Acre- Feet 6^ T- he project, located 2 miles north of the town of Mona in Juab County, involves the installation of a sprinkler irrigation system. Implementation of this project, scheduled to be completed spring 1997, will convert approximately 40 acres of flood irrigated land and 13 acres dry- farmed land into 53 acres of sprinkler irrigated land while retiring 13 acres of low production land. The sprinkler system, consisting of a mainline and wheelines, will reduce water losses and increase agricultural production. Water losses, due to evaporation and seepage, are expected to decrease by approximately 30 percent when the system is fully functional. |
