Contents Notes | Ground-water discharge from the expanding Cedar Bluff Irrigation District comprised successively larger proportions of low streamflow measured in an adjacent reach of the Smoky Hill River during seven salinity surveys between April 1964 and March 1967. After 1964 the percent composition of the inflow remained relatively constant, but the concentration of chloride in the irrigation reach progressively increased and the concentration of sulfate decreased in a downstream direction to values higher and lower, respectively, than in the calcium sulfate type irrigation water from Cedar Bluff Reservoir. The changes were caused mainly by variations in the rate and distribution of ground-water discharge from the district in response to fluctuations in the quantity of rainfall and applied irrigation water. |
