East Bench Irrigation Project Aims for 22000 Acres
John T Neal defends the east bench irrigation plan despite defeat of Initiative 28. Engineers and state experts back the scheme, which would store Grasshopper Creek water, divert it through canals and an inverted siphon, boosting irrigated land from 16000 to about 22000 acres and potentially yielding 40 bushels per acre. The plan contemplates a district court ruling and bond sale next spring to fund construction.
