Although our lake is still quite full, we are in a very warm, dry pattern. I have begun transferring water from our lake on 13 to our irrigation pond on #2&3. The process is slow, running the transfer pump at normal levels for 24 hours I will not quite replace the amount of water used in an average irrigation cycle. However, being able to transfer will help us maintain normal watering practices for longer periods of time with out putting undue stress on our water levels. Planning ahead and starting early, like we are doing, is the key. We may still have to go into conservation mode during hot dry stretches but at least we will have a steady stream of fresh water to help replenish what we use.
