The Lower Cañones Community Ditch is located in Cañones, New Mexico and diverts water from Cañones Creek. This project consists of stabilization and rehabilitation of the existing in-stream irrigation diversion dam structure using natural channel design principles. A series of three (3) two-step cross vane structures was designed by our office to provide reliable water to the Lower Cañones Community Ditch while also reducing maintenance requirements and improving long-term channel stability. Construction drawings for the Lower Cañones Community Ditch Diversion Structure were completed by William J. Miller Engineers in October 2015. A construction contract was awarded to Barney & Son Excavating, following solicitation of bids by public notice. Barney & Son Excavating mobilized forces to the project site in early December 2015 and Construction was completed on February 26, 2016.
