<br />c'J" <br /> <br />on <br />..-1 <br /> <br />.._l <br />(~,:; <br /> <br />Equipment including modern measuring and recording technology can be substituted <br /> <br />for much of the staffing needs. Staffing requirements and costs were then <br /> <br />developed separately for the Grand Valley and Uinta Basin because of the <br /> <br />different types of irrigation methods in each area and are presented in the <br /> <br />Appendix. Staffing needs were developed for the three sampling levels. <br /> <br />Sampling Levell <br /> <br />10 sites/ year <br /> <br />Sampling Level 2 <br /> <br />30 Sites/year <br /> <br />Sampling Level 3 <br /> <br />50 sites / year <br /> <br />Equipment Needs and Cost <br /> <br />The accuracy of evaluation data is dependent on the type of equipment available <br /> <br />for collection of this data. Four equipment level eEL) needs were developed and <br /> <br />represent four levels of data accuracy. Major equipment data needs for each <br /> <br />level and their cost are shown in the Appendix. <br /> <br />Equipment Levell. (EL-l) <br /> <br />This level would provide equipment for measuring soil intake characteristics and <br /> <br />sprinkler patterns. Equipment would be moved from site to site. Flow rates <br /> <br />would be estimated and the farmers would provide some of the data (i.e., inflow <br /> <br />time, time for water to reach end of field, etc.). In some cases, some of the <br /> <br />measurements would have a low accuracy because flow would be determined in a <br /> <br />crude fashion. In Grand Valley, inflow measuring device" are required as a <br /> <br />condition of assistance. Accuracy of deep percolation losses would be about <br /> <br />plus or minus 50 percent. <br /> <br />Equipment Level 2. (EL-2) <br /> <br />Equipment requirements at this level would provide inflo',-outf10w measurements <br /> <br />and soil intake characteristics. Instantaneous flow readings would be taken by <br /> <br />31 <br />
