説明 | The Rye Patch Reservoir is a reservoir on the Humboldt River in the U.S. State of Nevada. It is located about 22 miles northeast of the town of Lovelock, and is managed by the Pershing County Water Conservation District. The reservoir stores water for the agricultural area surrounding Lovelock, which is at the far downstream reach of the Humboldt, near the Humboldt Sink. Since the Lovelock area receives a mere 5.76 inches of rain annually, agriculture requires irrigation, but the high variability of the Humboldt (which often runs completely dry) means that water storage is necessary for irrigation to be feasible.Therefore, in 1933 the Bureau of Reclamation decided to build the Rye Patch Dam to impound the Humboldt and create the reservoir. The dam was built between 1935 and 1936. A New Deal project intended to help fight the Great Depression, the dam was funded by the Public Works Administration and employed workers from the Civilian Conservation Corps. The dam was expanded in 1975-6, raising the dam three feet to provide the reservoir with more storage capacity.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rye_Patch_Reservoiren.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_... |
