Abstract
Much attention is being focused on irrigation return flows as a result of recent legislation
on water quality and pollution control and the concern for water and energy conservation.
State-wide, surface irrigation return flows are nearly nonexistent where water normally
is scarce or expensive. This report describes the variations in flow and quality characteristics
of surface drainage waters from two irrigation districts in Californias Central Valley,
and the factors that contribute to such variations.
This project staff acknowledges the overall guidance and support given by Co-Investigators
J. W. Biggar, R. J. Miller and W. O. Pruitt of the same department and G. L. Horner
of USDA-Economic Research Service. We also acknowledge the assistance of J. W. Goldinger,
D. W. Wolfe, and J. A. Sellick for laboratory and field work. This investigation was
made possible through the cooperation and support of Robert Clark and Richard Haapala
of Glenn-Colusa Irrigation District and Ray Ram of Panoche Drainage District. This
work was partly supported by EPA Grant No. R803603.
Tanji K, Iqbal M, Quek A, VanDe Pol R, Wagenet L, Fujii R, Schnagl R, Prewitt D. 1977. Surface irrigation return flows vary.
