GALLOWAY IRRIGATION SCHEME

  1. Description
    The Galloway Irrigation Scheme is supplied from two main sources. Water to the Galloway Flats is pumped from the Manuherikia River to supply the top and bottom pump races. The latter is also gravity supplied from the Lower Manorburn Dam. The Scheme has received free power from the Fraser Power Scheme under a 1947 Agreement between the Otago Central Electric Power Board and the Crown to jointly construct the power scheme. The Galloway Irrigation Company has secured a continuing interest in the Fraser Power Scheme with three other irrigation companies.

The Scheme commenced supply in 1920. It serves 25 properties commanding 1,080 ha of irrigable area. Pumped water from the Manuherikia River augmented the gravity supply to 305 ha from 1948 as well as the top race. Area supplied is mainly pastoral production with some market gardening and horticulture.

The Galloway Scheme and the Ida Valley Scheme have been managed as one accounting unit until the recent sales when the two Schemes were sold separately. The historic capital and accumulated liabilities shown below therefore include the Ida Valley Scheme costs incurred over the life of the Scheme.
