Therefore, <br /> <br />economic objectives <br /> <br />for salinity studies can be <br /> <br />by reducing the salt <br /> <br />load <br /> <br />zing adverse effects on local <br /> <br />fish <br /> <br />agricultural production, and improve <br /> <br />s for managing irrigation water to reduce <br /> <br />that contributes to economic damaAes for <br /> <br />for participation by the U. S. Department of Agricul- <br /> <br />ture in the salinity control studies in the Lower Gunnison Unit are to: <br /> <br />(1) determine the contribution of salt loading from the irrigated farm <br /> <br />land and privately owned upland areas; and (2) determine the opportunity <br /> <br />II-2 <br /> <br />001113 <br />
