Bruce Johnson of the U S Bureau of Reclamation says a two reservoir irrigation system with a 160 mile canal from the Big Hole River near Dillon to Canyon Ferry near Helena could cost 70 to 80 million dollars and irrigate over 60 000 acres. The plan includes Reichele Dam and a second reservoir 60 miles away. Farmers would fund costs through yearly payments once districts and congressional approval are secured.
