Grant Projects
MID has been working closely with numerous federal, state, and local agencies to make improvements to the District. Many projects have been partially funded through contributions from the Bureau of Reclamation and the Idaho Department of Water Resources.
Check out current and ongoing projects below.
Lateral 39 is one of the original delivery channels in the district. The rock-lined lateral is notorious for seepage causing issues for farmers on either side of the waterway. The piping of this waterway will allow for increased conservation and more effective water management.
This project is in partnership with the Bureau of Reclamation's WaterSMART Program
MID will be conducting an overall system review in order to be fully prepared to secure grant funding as it becomes available. This review will involve identifying key areas in the district to make improvements that will have the greatest impact on water conservation and delivery efforts.
This project is in partnership with the Bureau of Reclamation's Water Conservation Field Services Program.
This project is being completed in conjunction with the Idaho Water Resource Board and the Aquifer Recharge Program. MID will be improving facilities and increasing capacity along the B2/1 Canal in an effort to increase recharge capabilities at Goyne Sump.
MID is working with FEMA and an engineering firm to complete a Hydraulic and Hydrology Study to track how water moves through our particular watershed. This project was initiated following the disastrous flooding in January 2017. Through multi-agency collaboration, an open channel connecting two established canals will be constructed to move water in the event of another catastrophic weather event in the future.
