<br /> ! Summary
<br /> The following table summarizes an analysis of satellite imagery for the month of June for
<br /> the years 1984, 1998, and 2000 that was performed in an attempt to determine the amount
<br /> , of irrigated acreage in Mexicali and San Luis Valleys, so as to use the irrigated acreage to
<br /> i
<br /> calculate a consumptive use demand. The analysis was conducted by performing a
<br /> natural color analysis of the imagery and grouping the colors into 15 classifications based
<br /> on observations.
