Drainage requirements of <br />the Arkansas Valley vary greatly in this area. The upper reach9s of the <br />river have excellent subsurfaco and surface drainage, whereas soma lower <br />reaohes often require extensive drainage works. <br /> <br />The co.,:s<)," for thi" cOl1d':,tion are o.pparent in that section of this <br />appondix setti,ng I'orth tho bnah phydcn 1 :f'ncts ns they were found and <br />interpreted during the 1anl1 c:!c",'ifiea'","',:\ Su:'"veys conducted by the <br />, Bureau of Reclmnntion, <br /> <br />--- <br />, , <br /> <br />-, -G_GoofiiJ dra;;.igo -rec,o;rnno,dations nre based en info!,= tien-=ootg::lD:od <br />fr,omc,the somidotnilod and'reconntissanco land clnssiric~tion-~rvoy'.:_ <br /> <br />= <br /> <br />":"'~I <br /> <br />--~- <br />---- <br /> <br />- <br />- -'D9~1.-0'd soils andonginceri-ng studioswi-l-l be noedcd-bofOl'o=fc1!1til, <br />'roociimaolld!ltrol}!i oun be 'piepOiod for developlOOnts boyond' the- Initi'ai-' <br />Development. <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />LAND CLASSIFICATION STANDARDS <br /> <br />The area is teo large and variablo to doscribo in detail as a unit; <br />oonsequently. it has been divided into smc.llorparts or areas, each ef <br />whioh 1s desoribed individur.lly.
