Abstract A nontechnical summary of several research activities in the Grand Valley is given. Analyses of alternative measures of reducing the salt load originating from the Valley as a result of irrigation return flows are presented. These alternatives include conveyance channel linings, field relief drainage, on-farm improvements (such as irrigation scheduling, head ditch linings, sprinkler and trickle irrigation), economic control measures such as taxation and land retirement, modified legal constraints, and collection and treatment of return flows with desalting systems. The best management practices for salinity control in the Grand Valley should be primarily the structural rehabilitation and operational modification of the local irrigation system lying below the turnouts from the major canal systems. Canal linings appear in the optimal strategies at higher levels of valley-wide salinity control emphasis but only so far as lining the Government Highline Canal is concerned. Desalting would become a cost-effective alternative after major irrigation system improvements are implemented.
