Contents Notes
The status of the National Irrigation Return Flow Research and Development Program is presented. Current research projects and future program development are discussed. The report represents the position of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with regard to the development of effective controls on the quality of irrigation return flows. Program goals and milestones are outlined. A number of potential control measures are discussed. Improvements in the water delivery system, on-the-farm water management, and the water removal system are considered with respect to improving the quality of irrigation return flows and decreasing the degradation of receiving waters. Research and investigations are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of potential control measures. Demonstrations and educational activities will be required to overcome institutional, political, and legal constraints to water management reform.
