Irrigation Return Flows Clause Samples

Irrigation Return Flows. All of the project lands receiving project and private water lie within the San ▇▇▇▇ River Drainage. Return flows from these irrigated lands flow into the San ▇▇▇▇ drainage. In the San ▇▇▇▇ drainage, the subject 465 af (▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇) has historically been used and reused for irrigation. Estimates for historical depletion of that water range as high as 85%. Specifically, return flows from these lands are intercepted by the West Fork and Middle Fork of the Mancos River and Chicken Creek which in turn flow into the Mancos River and finally the to San ▇▇▇▇ River.
