Los Griegos curve also indicates a straight-line relation 

 although it lies lower on the chart and departs from the parallel- 

 ism of the previous curves. It indicates nearly 9 inches less 

 consumptive use than at Santa Ana for a 24-inch depth to water 

 and 12.5 inches less as the water table lowers to 36 inches. 



It is evident from these curves that for given depths to 

 water table, saltgrass in the Owens Valley has a greater consump- 

 tive use than at other places of investigation, with decreasing 

 amounts at Santa Ana, Los Griegos, and in Escalante Valley.
