Repetto Farms Irrigation Efficiency and Agricultural Pond

completed

This project aimed to improve water security for the Repetto agricultural operation in lower San Gregorio Creek Watershed and improve instream flow conditions for sensitive species and other water users downstream. The project improved irrigation efficiencies in water and energy use, and constructed an irrigation pond to store winter water for use during the summer and act as a regulating reservoir to reduce the diversion rates from San Gregorio Creek. The new system allows the farmer to have a secure water storage facility to serve as a limited backup during a drought period. Every year during the late summer when streamflows are at their lowest, the farmer will rely only on water stored
