Continuation of monitoring in Egin, Idaho: Recharge experiment fall 2008 through spring 2010; Technical completion report 201001 Item Info

In June 2009, the Idaho Water Resources Research Institute (IWRRI) and Idaho Department of Water Resources (IDWR) produced a report on the managed recharge project conducted in Egin, Idaho entitled "Monitoring of Egin, Idaho Recharge Experiment, Fall 2008" (Contor et al. 2009). Since June 2009, Water District 01 (WD 01) and the IDWR Eastern office (also referred to as IDWR-Eastern) employees have continued the monitoring effort with some assistance from IWRRI. The Egin Lakes ponds are located near a Bureau of Land Management recreational site at the end of the Recharge Canal in southwestern Fremont County, approximately 11 miles west of the town of St. Anthony (Figure 1). Several designated monitoring wells and one private well were monitored during the recharge experiment. The study area has historically been considered a potential groundwater recharge site. Previous investigations have been conducted to determine the feasibility of recharge and benefit to the Eastern Snake Plain Aquifer (ESPA). These previous recharge studies along with the Fall 2008 recharge experiment are discussed in detail in the previous Egin report (Contor et al. 2009). The goal of this project was for WD 01 and IDWR employees to continue monitoring the managed recharge effort in the Egin Lakes study area. WD 01 and IDWR employees maintained a majority of the hand water level measurements in the wells measured during the most recent recharge experiment and measured flow in several canals. IWRRI periodically visited wells installed with transducers and downloaded the data. Bryce Contor of IWRRI spent some of his personal time measuring end of canal spill in the Egin area.
