Table 11 <br />represents flow information for various irrigation ditches <br />in the ward Creek and Williams Creek valleys for 1979, 1980, <br />' and 1981. <br />' With respect to the potential for flood irrigation of <br /> non-flood irrigated areas, no evaluation based on regional <br />' irrigation practices was necessary since the only areas in <br /> question (i.e., the area met all other AVF criteria such as <br />' valley width, size, etc.) were closely associated with <br /> existing flood irrigation systems. <br />' <br /> In order to assess the suitability of soils in the <br />' study area to flood irrigation agricultural activities, a <br /> cursory soils evaluation was made of the study area. It was <br /> found that soils in the area are directly related to the <br /> parent materials from which they formed. The areas of <br />1 i <br />f <br />thi <br />d f <br />th <br />hi <br />h <br />d <br />h <br />d <br /> ve <br />ans an <br />r <br />an <br />our <br />terraces, w <br />extens <br />t <br />e <br />c <br />' together comprise the majority of the area, have <br /> reddish-brown cobbly loams. These soils are simple and <br />' juvenile (i.e., they lack B horizons). The A horizon <br /> structure grades from granular to simple crumb forms. The C <br />' horizon generally has a coating of white caliche on the <br />' surfaces of the basalt cobbles and is devoid of soil <br /> structure. These soils have good texture, are well drained, <br />' and are excellent for growing irrigated grasses. However, <br /> they are quite limited in their agricultural utility due to <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />' 82 <br />
