<br />on-farm programs since the location and design of the main <br /> <br /> <br />canals and laterals are needed to initiate the on-farm <br /> <br />program and construction of these facilities to fully <br /> <br /> <br />~, implement the program. The Council recommends that the <br />,JI <br /> <br />~:; involved federal agencies establish priorities for salinity <br />,...... . <br /> <br />control programs and coordinate their efforts so that the <br /> <br /> <br />Colorado River basin salinity control program may be <br /> <br /> <br />expedited. <br /> <br /> <br />Salt Precipitation Studies <br /> <br /> <br />At the December 19, 1978 Advisory Council meeting, <br /> <br /> <br />the Bureau of Reclamation was urged to pursue a research <br /> <br /> <br />program to identify the mechanics involved in the stratifi- <br /> <br /> <br />cation and precipitation of salts in large reservoirs. <br /> <br /> <br />The effects of these occurrences have never been fully <br /> <br /> <br />evaluated and could play an important role in predicting <br /> <br /> <br />future river salinity. The Council recommends that the <br /> <br /> <br />Bureau of Reclamation initiate such research as soon as <br /> <br />it can be worked into the budgeting process. <br />U.S. Department of Agriculture <br />The Council urges the U.S. Department of Jgriculture (liDN <br />to continue its on-going studies and implementation programs <br /> <br />related to Colorado River salinity control. The Soil Conser- <br />vation Service (SCS), in December 1977, released the USDA report, <br />"(h-Fann Program for Salinity .Control- Grand Valley Salinity <br />Study", under provision of PoL. 93-320. ses funding from the fiscal <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br />. <br />
