Appendix D Key Structures and Diversions COOPER DITCH DIVERSION |
PREPARED BY: | Bear River Basin Planning Team |
DATE: | August 7, 2000 |
Diversion Description: The Cooper Ditch headgate consists of a 44-inch rectangular slide gate set in a concrete headwall. The river is diverted using wood planks supported on vertical steel pipe piling driven into the river. | Cooper Ditch headgate structure |

Conveyance Description: Open channel canal, approximately 15,840 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 entirely to irrigate meadow grasses, primarily Timothy, Meadow Foxtail, etc.3
Return Flows: Return flow is primarily captured by the Covey Canal.
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%
