Alluvial valley floor guidelines, 1980. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6731229
The procedures outlined in Part I of the Guidelines are intended to be those which can be accomplished in a short period of time. It describes how land use data may be used to investigate the potential for flood irrigation on lands within the region. Part II is a representative of the procedures necessary to clarify the status of areas identified as possible alluvial valley floors. Part III outlines the extent of studies that could be used to define the essential hydrologic functions of alluvial valley floors. The procedures are all field-oriented and the extent of the studies depends on the complexity of the alluvial valley floor (principally hydrologic complexity).
