the entire irrigation season by multiplying the esti- <br />mated mean loads times 214 days. The means of the <br />individual sample loads collected in the nonirrigation <br />season (November through March) were multiplied by <br />151.25 days (allowing for leap years) to estimate the <br />nonirrigation season loads. The nonirrigation season <br />loads were assumed to be derived primarily from <br />ground-water sources in the Montrose Arroyo Basin, <br />so the sum of the nonirrigation-season load and the <br />estimated ground-water load in the irrigation season is <br />the annual ground-water load. The total annual sele- <br />nium and salt loads are the sum of the surface-water <br />load and the ground-water load (tables 4 and 5). The <br />pre-project selenium and salt loads were compared to <br />the post-project loads to examine the effects of the <br />lateral improvements. The change in the ground-water <br />load between the pre-project and post-project periods <br />should reflect changes caused by the lateral work. <br />The total loads shown in tables 4 and 5 can be <br />approximated by using the data in table 3; the total <br />loads are equal to the sum of the mean irrigation- <br />season load times 214 and the mean nonirrigation <br />season load times 151.25. The loading analysis was <br />done by using a computerized spreadsheet program, <br />and the computations were done using unrounded <br />numbers. The mean loads in table 3 are rounded <br />values. Slight differences in the total loads computed <br />using the values in table 3 when compared to the total <br />loads listed in tables 4 and 5 may be obtained because <br />of rounding. However, computing total loads using <br />data in table 3 does not separate the total load into <br />surface-water and ground-water load. The component <br />analysis of the irrigation-season loads was done <br />because of the need to know the effects of the lateral <br />project on ground-water loads. <br />Table 4.
