7/24/2015 <br /> Stakeholder Comments Received (cont.) <br /> Lex Krumhout <br /> Based on family's water farming history, the size of the reservoir and <br /> water height proposed are inadequate to provide meaningful water <br /> supply during dry period. Evaporative losses and seepage pose <br /> problems with proposed configuration. <br /> *Size was modeled based on specific soil conditions, berm construction <br /> techniques, evaporation/transpiration/seepage calculations and best <br /> engineering practices. This methodology has been used successfully <br /> throughout the state and industry. This will be re-visited if/when a <br /> specific site is selected to reflect actual conditions. <br /> Smith <br /> Stakeholder Comments Received (cont.) <br /> Lex Krumhout <br /> Proposed system will not reduce total outfall to Indian River Lagoon. <br /> *every drop diverted reduces outfall to Lagoon if water is properly stored. <br /> Invest in County-wide hydrological groundwater study to identify <br /> leaking wells and shallow aquifer recharge areas. <br /> *A comprehensive, County-wide study is the ideal goal; however, the <br /> undertaking is costly and time-consuming. This is an excellent long-term <br /> objective. <br /> Smith <br /> tic. •P.9 <br />
