Irrigation Project Planned for Rio Puerco Valley New Mexico
The Rio Puerco Valley irrigation system centers on a diverting dam across the Rio Puerco and a reservoir network in Bernalillo county near Albuquerque. The diverting dam spans 437 feet long and 32 feet high with a 7 foot crest, feeding a canal 20 feet wide at the bottom and discharging 440 cubic feet per second into a 14 mile canal to Reservoir No. 1 of about 70 acres. Reservoir No. 2 will be the main storage with a 3,300 foot long dam 46 feet high and 13,700 acre feet capacity. Two 25 mile main irrigation canals descend the valley, an inverted siphon crosses the river, and a second reservoir site near four miles downstream could impound 20,000 acre feet. The project aims for completion May 1 diverting dam and July finishing of the nucleus, financed at about 200000 by local investors led by Peter McChespey of the Western Homestad and Irrigation Company with Albuquerque officers.
