A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The Preston Bench Project does not number among Reclamations most well-known projects. A small project with few significant features outside of an irrigation canal, the privately constructed portions of the project date back to the late nineteenth century, a situation not entirely unheard of on a Reclamation project but still rather rare. The local water users requested Reclamations assistance when repair costs on the canal exceeded the scope of the project. Reclamation stepped in to make the necessary repairs, salvaging the project. Though Reclamations impact did not extend much further than the immediate vicinity of the project, the water users realize the importance of the project to the local economy.
