Maricopa Stanfield Irrigation

The Maricopa-stanfield Irrigation and Drainage District (MSIDD) Is a Political Subdivision and Municipal Corporation of the State of Arizona. Msidd Was Established in 1962 to Supply Irrigation Water for Agricultural Use Within Pinal County, Arizona for Approximately 82,000 Acres. the Overall System Consists of 75 Miles of Open Channel Main Stem Canals, 200 Miles of Open Channel Laterals and 20 Miles of Pipelines. Since 1990, Msidd Has Relied on Two Primary Sources of Water: Central Arizona Project (CAP) and Previously, Their Groundwater Retention System Consisting of a Network of 160 Wells and Appurtenant Features.msidd Implemented a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisitions (SCADA) on Two of Their Main Stem Canals in 1992. the Aging System Is Barely Functional With System Sites Failing While Parts and Equipment Are No Longer Available. Current Scada Systems Are Much More Robust and Have Reliable Sensors, Radios, Telemetry, and Irrigation System Compatible Scada Ready Software.conducting This System Operation Review (SOR) Will Enable Msidd to Develop a Multi-phased Approach to Address the Factors That Contribute to the Inefficiency and Water Losses Present in Their Current Conveyance System. the Aging Infrastructure and Deficient Flow Measurement Equipment With Outdated Scada Management Tools Need to Be Replaced. This Sor Will Provide the Guidance Needed to Modernize and Better Operate Their Complex Network of Canals, Laterals, Pipelines, Well Pumps and Appurtenant Features in the Most Efficient Manner.msidd Will Work With Their Stakeholders Including Farmers and Customers in the District, the Central Arizona Irrigation and Drainage District, Ak-chin Indian Community and the U.s. Bureau of Reclamation, to Develop a Plan That Will Identify and Schedule Construction/automation Priorities.
