<br />Other Alternatives Considered
<br />
<br />No Action - continued leaching of 400,000 tons of~salt/ycar
<br />On-farm improvements and IHS - available figures not solid enough for comparison purposes
<br />Limit diversions - need approval of water users
<br />Earth lining - borrow limited and remote; no data on altering in-situ soil for lining purposes
<br />Desalting plants - much too expensive; hi~l energy use
<br />Sealants (enzymes. chemicals) - unproven materials, meaeer data available
<br />Combination linings - several variations were considered. more exPensive than above
<br />*Condults Lrc defined as conveyance systems (i.e., canals and laterals).
