| Description | The water table in the Big Lost River valley is declining due to increased irrigation pumpage and decreased recharge from surface-water irrigation, resulting from the use of more efficient application methods and an accompanying expansion to about twice the irrigated acreage of two decades ago. The lower water table reduces the already deficient river flows, and impacts the senior water rights of many surface water irrigators. Recorded irrigation diversions have decreased in relation to river... |
