 Irrigation Under the Salt River
 Project
 In the Salt River Valley much is heard about A, B. and c lands, river rights and reservoir water Many theories are afloat varying in their , relation to facts in proportion to their propounders' understanding or mis- understanding of actual conditions. lands are those which were practically continuously cultivated for d series of years prior to 1910. All lands are not alike in their right to river water Their right differs according to the year in which water was first appropriated for them. -Nc- cording to the Kent decree each year of land cultivation beginning in 1896 is represented by a certain amount of water in the river. When tae river contains as little as 21,00O miners inches, only those lands that were in cultivation in or prior to 1883 can be served with river water When the river contains 32 900 miners inches. lands cultivated up to 1889 can have water. When it contains 2S.OO0 miners inches, 1895 lands may be served. land so on until 1909 which is repre- scented by 45.000 miners inches in thc river Thereafter all lands are equally entitled to river water.
 B lands are those which Were watered for cultivation. but on which use of water was discontinued before 1903 and not resumed up to 1908.
 C lands comprise all other irriga ole lands within the limits of the project. They are not entitled to river flow. but are dependent on the reservoir. However. when the reservoir is gain ing. C lands may have river flow rs the river is then above normal.
 Stored water in the reservoir must be divided equally among all water users
 The advantage of A and B lands over C land lies in this, When the project is formally opened, C lands cannot be issued reservoir rights until all A and B and cultivated C lands are taken care of.
