This system is scheduled for <br />~, replacement by pipeline to gated pipe. Landowner continues to <br />have some problems with existing system; Soil moisture needs <br />to be identified prior to irrigation events and this <br />communicated to landowner. wit~ an improved system, irrigation <br />water management will become much more possible. <br /> <br />Site 20 <br />Earth ditch to feeder ditch.

Water and salt budgets <br />Salt contribution: It is estimated that about 1,400,000 tons <br />of salt are contributed annually to the Colorado River thru <br />deep percolation and seepage. About 840,000 tons are <br />attributed to irrigated agriculture on approximately 171,000 <br />acres. <br />Initial goals are to reduce salt loading to the Colorado River <br />by 280,500 tons annually at the end of the projected 20 year <br />application of the program. <br /> <br />{r: <br />....::.j.' <br /> <br />16 <br />
