Excerpt from Water Table Variations, Causes and Effects

As stated in Bulletin No. 143 the matter contained there and in the following pages grew out of seepage conditions on the Southern Utah Experiment Farm, which. Necessitated the removal of a five acre vineyard in 1908 and of a seven acre orchard in 1910] The general soil conditions. Were there briefly indicated and the extent and physical conditions of the root systems discussed. In this bulletin is shown the effect of rain fall and irrigation water on the soil in relation especially to its free water content at various seasons and how this varies. A brief discussion of the fluctuations shown and of their effect on the soil and vegetation is also included; this, with the conditions of the farm especially in mind.

A history of the seepage conditions on the farm if carefully written would be similar, with slight modifications, to that of many other sections in'the intermountain region, with this one factor well in mind - that the soil under discussion is decidedly sandy, especially below the first foot.1 Such a soil would necessarily permit the very free movement of water within it, if it were not hindered by the-presence of too great a quantity of alkaline salts.
