<br />32 <br /> <br />>>PRICE-SAN RAFAEL RIVERS, UTAH <br /> <br />Hydrosalinity Analysis <br /> <br />A water and salt budget accounting system for irrigation was <br />developed by SCS and USBR in 1988 and 1989. The system was <br />developed on a computer spread sheet. Salt and water budgets are <br />displayed simply and contain diversion, canal seepage, farm <br />delivery, onfarm deep percolation, ground water inflow, and <br />groundwater outflow and the associated salinity. The winter water <br />supply for livestock delivered through the irrigation system is <br />also included. With a few relatively minor modifications the <br />water and salt budgeting procedure could be used in other units. <br />SCS documented their concurrence of the procedure by a letter <br />dated 1-9-89. USBR on 1-30-89. Discussion of the procedure with <br />the salinity Forum Work Group has been very favorably received. <br /> <br />Spreadsheet documentation is available from Dave Trueman, USBR, <br />Salt Lake City, Utah. Example work sheets for the Price River <br />and San Rafael River watersheds follow: <br />
