Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
The Falls Irrigation District, located in American Falls, will automate a 3,700-horsepower pump station by adding an industrial control panel, variable speed motors, pumps and drives, flowmeters, and a supervisory control and data acquisition system.
Currently, the pump station runs at a constant speed, resulting in over-pumping and conveyance spills.
The project is expected to result in annual water savings of 1,684 acre-feet by enabling the district to match supply and demand.
Conserved water will be stored in the American Falls Reservoir, helping to maintain higher water levels and colder temperatures, and will offset the need to pump groundwater.
