Regulating Reservoirs - Part 1
Show Notes

On Part 1 of Episode 29 of the TID Water & Power Podcast we sit down with TID Chief Operating Officer, Brad Koehn, and Water Distribution Department Manager, Mike Kavarian, to discuss the District's regulating reservoirs.

Unlike Don Pedro, which has a storage capacity of more than 2 million acre-feet, TID’s regulating reservoirs are more like ponds – storing just a couple hundred acre-feet. However, despite their relative size, they are crucial to the District’s efforts to modernize and increase efficiency within our more than century-old irrigation system. 

On this episode, we discuss the benefits and operations of these regulating reservoirs.

In Part 2, available now in our podcast feed, we're joined by Senior Civil Engineer, Matt Hazen, Construction and Maintenance Department Manager, Chris Hardin, to discuss the reservoirs' in-house design and construction.
