Show PARE II PRESENT STATUS OF IRRIGATION Clear, cool water being released from Glen Canyon Dam for use in the Lower Colorado Region. Partial solutions to many of the local problems resulting from use of water of poor quality are achieved by good farm management practices, including the addition of a few chemical amendments and the provision for adequate drainage. Ground Wa-ter Ground water in the Upper Colorado Region is usually less suitable for irrigation than is surface water, except where it occurs locally in the headwaters of major streams. Ground water, having concentrations of total dissolved solids ranging from 1,000 to 3>000 mg./l. occurs throughout; the northeast, central, and southeast parts of the region. The sodium adsorption values for this same area are often greater than 10. High concentrations of boron occur in ground water along the lower reaches of Willow Creek near Ouray, Utah, and in ground water contribu- tions to the Strawberry River and Indian Creek above Duchesne, Utah. 36 |
