Agricultural Water System Overview

 2010 CAFES Ag Water System Evaluation  2011 Stenner Creek Watershed Study  2012 Water Rights Analysis  2013 Initiated Agricultural Water System Improvement Plan Agricultural Water Management Review

 Components to the plan:  Installation of water flow meters  Filter station upgrades  Installation of efficient sprinklers  Installation of micro emitters  Repair/replace all the sprinkler pipe  Design and Installation of a new pumping station  Prioritize and add/replace approx. 9,000 feet of underground pipeline.  Development of a water management system for irrigation Ag Water System Improvement Plan

 Combination of Information:  Use of CIMIS for weekly evapotranspiration (eT) rates  Use of irrigation calculator  Use of AdCon Telemetry  Irrigation Water Management System

 Use of soil tensiometers Irrigation Water Management System

 Historical Ag Water Use  Current Ag Water Use  Efficiencies Gained  Remaining areas for improved efficiency Agricultural Water Usage

 To Date:  Pump Station Design  Construction of the pump station concrete pad  Development of an irrigation scheduling guide  Student Assistant irrigation crew  Irrigation system evaluations Student Involvement

 Collaborative Project between Cal Poly, Morro Bay National Estuary Program and the California Conservation Corps  Designed to alleviate water competition between water users and wildlife  Rainwater harvesting to augment water use, reduce pumping of riparian wells, and improve on-site storm water management.  Project went on line Fall of 2013 Rainwater Harvesting Project
