EFFECT OF BOULDER
CANYON RESERVOIR

The average concentration Ol the
irrigation supply during the three
year period of investigation was
la tons per acre foot. This Is
equivalent to $40 parts per million
and is in excess of the cOnCcntra-
ton which is expected after com
plete regulation of Colorado river
in Boulder Canyon reservoir. How
ever, during the current year the
irrigation supply Of Imperial Val
ley has not been much lower than
it was on the average from Feb
1880 to Feb. 1893. Should the aver
age concentration in the future
be as low as that estimated by
the u. S. Geological Survey, the
rate of accumulation of salts in
the Imperial Valley, assuming all
other conditions unchanged would
be about 80 per cent Of the amounts
set forth above. Even these reduced
quantities would be so large that
there can be no question of the
necessity for mere complete and
effective drainage in the future
than in the past. Otherwise, irri-
CATION agriculture in Imperial Val
ley cannot be maintained on the
present scale.
FURTHER INVESTIGATION
NEEDED
No program for complete dram
age can be carried out in a few
years, and the areas to be drained
first should not be selected solely
on account of high water table.
Consideration must be given to
the character of the soil and sub
soil and to the amount of salt and
TO its character. This will require
extended investigation, best done
by an experienced government
agency.
IRR DIST CONT

At the time of the break into
Salton Sea, the Colorado river first
spread out over much Of the valley
floor. Gradually channels began to
form, and as these cut back they
became more pronounced. Finally,

is quite improbable that calcium
