Mr. Broyles indicated that the Keesee Ditch was <br />frequently'used for irrigation of alfalfa and winter grains during the winter <br />months. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />After completion of the irrigation wells in the 1950's and 1960's, well <br />water was 'used for winter irrigation, primarily as a source of warm water to <br />aid in the delivery of surface diversions, and as a supplemental water source <br />during the irrigation season. This supplemental source allowed for the <br />expansion in acreage reflected in the aerial photographs. In the most recent <br />years, Mr, Broyles indicates that the tenants have relied much less on well <br />water and)more on surface diversions due primarily to high pumping .costs and <br />the availability of account water in John Martin Reservoir under the current <br />operating plan and wet climatic cycle. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br />I <br />
