Generating Clean, Green Energy
The design of the Black Rock Reservoir project ensures self-sufficient elements to reduce operating costs. The plan includes the addition of power generators as the water enters the Roza and Sunnyside Canals, as well as returning water back into the Columbia River through a generator at Priest Rapids Dam. These dams will create renewable energy that will provide an additional revenue flow to the area. The revenue will help defray the operating cost of pumping water from the Columbia River to supply the reservoir.
During these times of aggressive research to fulfill the requirements of our country's green movement, Black Rock is the most innovative plan. The progressive Black Rock design provides solutions to the demands placed on our agricultural valley by supporting all their needs as the country's leaders in agricultural production from water supply to renewable energy through GREEN technology.
