<br />TAH: Shambip River Basin Study <br /> <br />Funding has been requested for a new river basin study beginning in <br />FY-85. The purpose of this study is to identify and prioritize <br />specific areas for USDA assistance to reduce erosion, increase flood <br />protection and improve 'irrigation efficiencies with on-farm treatment, <br /> <br />Price-San Rafael Rivers Salinity Study <br /> <br />The first draft report has been reviewed by National Headquarters and <br />WNTC. Extens i ve revi si on of the plan wi 11 be necessary to incorporate <br />treatment of irrigation water delivery systems (lateral and canals). <br />This work is scheduled for FY-85. <br /> <br />Uinta Basin Salinity Project <br /> <br />Improved quality of planning and implementation has been a major staff <br />effort, Emphasis has been placed on comprehensive systems planning <br />and group implementation. New salinity legislation is severely needed <br />to facilitate this program.. <br /> <br />Monitoring and evaluation activities are on schedule with irrigation <br />monitoring systems in place on 10 farms and 30 wildlife monitoring <br />sites identified and baseline data established. <br /> <br />There has been a significant number of would-be program participants <br />unable to proceed with their proposed LTA contracts due to a depressed <br />economic situation. <br /> <br />'OMING: <br /> <br />WyominQ Cooperative IrriQation Water Conservation Study <br /> <br />This study, authorized in 1982, has resulted in the completion of 10 <br />individual studies of irrigation systems. The purpose of these studies, <br />requested by the individual irrigation districts, is to evaluate and <br />make recommendations for improvement of their delivery systems to <br />increase irrigation efficiency, Needed on-farm irrigation water man- <br />agement practi ces are also addressedi n these reports. In FY -84, three <br />of these studies were completed. Of particular note, is the fact that <br />five of these irrigation districts have used these reports to secure <br />state funding of the rehabilitation measures recommended. More than <br />$2.5 million of state funds have been obligated to complete construction <br />plans and for construction on these five studies, <br /> <br />WATERSHED PLANNING <br /> <br />IZONA: <br /> <br />Cottonwood Wash Watershed <br /> <br />Studies by the Arizona Department of Water Resources and the SCS <br />showed an unfeasible project.
