Appendix D Key Structures and Diversions BUTTON FLAT DIVERSION |
PREPARED BY: | Bear River Basin Planning Team |
DATE: | August 7, 2000 |
Diversion Description:The Button Flat diversion structure consists of a 30-inch CMP with a canal gate. The river is diverted using wood boards. | Button Flat headgate structure |
|
Conveyance Description: Open channel canal, approximately 10,560 feet in length.1

Associated Storage Rights: None
Irrigation Practices: Land is flood irrigated.3
Estimated Diversion Efficiency:
Calculated Diversion Efficiency = Conveyance Efficiency X Application Efficiency:
Conveyance Efficiency: 65% Application Efficiency: 55% Overall Diversion Efficiency: 36% Conveyance efficiency is estimated by total length of main canal. Application efficiency for flood irrigation and sprinkler irrigation is estimated at 55% and 85% respectively.
Crop Types / Consumptive Use: Water is used to irrigate meadow grasses (approx. 20%) and alfalfa & grains (approx. 80% rotated).3
Return Flows: Return flow is primarily captured by Progress Canal and/or other downstream ditches
The following return flow pattern was adopted for modeling in this study are as follows:
Month (after initial Diversion) Percent of Return 0 70% 1 20% 2 10% 3 0% 100%
