WEST CANAL Water from Howard Prairie, Hyatt and
Emigrant lakes streams through this irrigation canal along
the side of the hills west of Talent to serve water users
By CLEVE TWITCHELL
Mail Tribuns Stiff Writtr
Talent-Motorists driving In
the Talent area probably
have noticed and have been
curious about a brown line
extending across the face of
the hills to the west.
From the floor of the val
ley, it appears as if a road
had been cut along the side
of the hills.
There is a road - but in
actuality the brown ' line ' is
an irrigation ditch, the west
side canal of the Talent Irri
gation ditch. A narrow dirt
road runs along side of the
ditch for use by district per
sonnel. Carrias Watar to Madford
The west side canal car
ries water from a point near
Ashland to the Dark Hollow
area west of Medford. It is
one of three main canals in
the Talent Irrigation district
system. A second ditch called
the Talent canal extends
r -i- center of the val
ley, and a third extends along
ic Hillsides on the east side
of the valley.
Water users located just
above the west side canal and
been in operation since 1936
Originally H was just one
third its present size. Im
provements have been made
during the past vear so the
canal now can carry 40 sec
ond feet of water instead of
the previous capacity of la
second feet.
Und on Experiments
In conjunction with the en
largcmcnt program, the west
side canal also has been used
in experiments with emu I
sion material to cut down loss
of water through seepage Into
the ground
The experiments have been
quite successful, Walter Hoff
buhr, district secretary-man
ager, indicated. He said the
water loss had been reduced
from 600 to 18 gallons a min
ute over an 11,000-foot sec
tion. From Thraa Lakas
Most Talent Irrigation dis
trict water comes from How
ard Prairie, Hyatt and Emi
grant lakes. It comes to the
valley in canals, eventually
entering the east side canal.
Water for the west side
canal is siphoned from the
east aide. It plunges to the
valley floor and then travels
between it and the Talent up the west side without the
canal are served by the west- aid of pumps - obeying the
em ditch. 1 scientific principle of water
The west side canal lias ' maintaining identical levels
from Ashland to the Dark Hollow area. Beside the ditch
is a dirt road wide enough so Talent Irrigation district
trucks can drive along side the entire length of the canal.

SUPPLEMENTAL SOURCE Additional
water for the west side canal Is brought
down Wagner creek from its source at Mc
Donald creek. At a pointt a few miles west
of Talent, shown in this photo, the Talent
Irrigation district's water is siphoned out
of Wagner creek. The district's water is
taken off into the canal at left, while the
remainder of Wagner creek flows through
the opening at right. Gates on both forks
help to regulate the flow of water.

The west canal's water sup
ply is supplemented by water
from MacDonald creek, which
brought from Wagner
creek and then siphoned into
ditch near Wagner creek
