58-11 Pipeline 'Ramp Flume'

The District secured Federal funding from the US Bureau of Reclamation to install a new steel ramp flume at the terminus of the 58-11 pipeline, which was constructed in 2014-16 and is located the North East section of the District. The ramp flume is intended to measure and collect realtime, 24hour flow data to help improve operations on the pipeline. This site is particularly worthy of additional water efficiency efforts due to the natural Sagebrush Creek drainage, which is a tributary of the Deschutes River. Much attention has been paid to this region in years past by the Soil an Water Conservation District, ODA, and Dept. of Environmental Quality, and will be receiving a renewed investment resources by NRCS as a new SIA (Strategic Implementation Area) will include Sagebrush Creek in its focus area. As such, it is more critical that the District optimize its water conveyance efficiency on 58-11 to remain in good standing with our basin partner agencies.
