Utilization and optimization of an environmentally benign hydraulic resource are goals of every hydroelectric power developer and engineer. With the application of economical engineering solutions, partial year flows from irrigation canals can become such a resource for power production. This paper presents the highlights of how the North Side Canal Company and the Ida-West Energy Company used cost-effective site and powerhouse arrangements and pit turbines to develop the Hazelton B and Wilson Lake Hydroelectric Projects on an irrigation canal in south-central Idaho.
