• photograph as a lighter green and pink color near the protruding <br />hillock in the floodplain. <br />The third subject area, the Fish Creek floodplain, vas poorly <br />displayed on the OSM photograph. Fish Creek is seen as a black <br />meandering line at the top of the photograph. The floodplain is <br />shown as a wide, reddish-green area. There appears to be a <br />discontinuous irrigation ditch on the north edge of the floodplain. <br />There are some areas within the floodplain which are more red than <br />others, due to a change in stream gradient and surface moisture. <br />This is seen in the floodplain to the northeast of Tipple No. 3, <br />where the stream-course is braided and highly sinuous. Other areas, <br />• such as the light green colored area vest of the tipple, exhibit <br />features which indicate heavy grazing use. Despite the heavy <br />agricultural use, the area does not appear to have been flood- <br />irrigated for some tine. <br />Judging from this infrared photograph it would spear that <br />irrigation is occurring in the floodplains of Foidel and Middle <br />Creeks, and that irrigation has occurred in the Fish Creek <br />floodplain. All three areas have undergone heavy agricultural use. <br />Alluvial Valley Floor Identification <br />Based on the field investigations described above, three areas <br />• have been identified as possible alluvial valley floors. These <br />areas are: 1) the lower reaches of the Foidel Creek floodplain 2) <br />2.06-25 <br />
