The poorer <br /> <br />the water quality the more water required. The State of Nevada is also <br /> <br />looking for an additional firm water supply. Potential sources included <br /> <br />Lower Virgin River water, Aquatrain, Las Vegas Wash, and Deep Carbonate. <br /> <br />4. Palo Verde Irrigation District Unit <br /> <br />Funding has been established in FY-84 and for FY-85 to conduct <br /> <br />verification studies and determine the scope of the investigation. During <br /> <br />the 2 year verification program , a hydrosalinity model of the District <br /> <br />will be developed and data will be collected to verify the nature and <br /> <br />extent of the salt loading problem. Activities will include the <br /> <br />installation of approximately 40 observation wells, soil and water sampling <br /> <br />and analysis, and collection of farm management data. A Preliminary <br /> <br />Findings Report, scheduled for September 1985, will document the <br /> <br />verification study report. A plan of study has been developed and <br /> <br />Reclamation is initiating data collection for the verification program. <br />
