[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1749390, member: 498"] Yep, there are two ditches. One down each side of the valley. There are to head gates at the diversions from the river. Both head gates are on my property. Being at the top of the ditch does have its benefits. The guys at the bottom of the ditch do complain from time to time. But there are a lot of other people between me and them. We all do try to get along. Historically there have been shootings over irrigation water. Those gates are called weirs. They are generally used to divert from a larger ditch into the smaller field ditches. I have 5 of them on my property. Mine are all made of concrete. I put boards across them to block the flow and divert water. When not in use I pull the boards (not the most fun job) to allow the water to flow freely down the ditch. [/QUOTE]
