Section 1-B:
Dallam County Underground Water Conservation District No.1 Is
Not Operational
Dallam County Underground Water Conservation District No. 1 (District) did not
achieve three of the four audited objectives in its management plan. Therefore, the
District is not operational. The District did not achieve its objectives to measure the
wells in its network, to define a trigger for implementing emergency drought
management plans, and to publish at least two newspaper articles on the advantages of
low pressure sprinkler systems.
We were unable to determine whether the District achieved the fourth objective
regarding monitoring waste caused by water/irrigation runoff because the District
stated that it had not received any complaints of water irrigation runoff Table 3
provides additional details on each of the audited objectives.
