Also, existing reservoirs act as sediment traps. <br />Estimated sediment yield from these tracts using the <br />Pacific South rest Inter-agency Committee (1968) method <br />is about 200 tons/sq-mi (tons per square mile) (Tab'_e. <br />5). <br />Tracts C-22676 east and west are somewhat less stab_e. <br />Both are characterized by southwest-facing slopes t.`:at <br />do not have as well developed soils or as good a pla^.t <br />cover as the tracts described above. Dryland farmi-~ <br />in and adjacent to the western tract also is a factor <br />that increases eresion and sediment yield. Sediment <br />yield frog these tracts is estimated to be about 3C~~ <br />tons/sq-mi (Ta'ole 5). <br />5.
