IRRIGATION IN NORTHERN COLORADO. 



57 



gation is based on 324 irrigations of sugar beets, potatoes, and other 

 row crops. The location and trend of the curve for furrow irriga- 

 tion is influenced to a great extent by very rapid, alternate, furrow 

 irrigation as practiced frequently on many of the farms of the 

 valley. 



In order to secure reliable data on farm irrigation a careful 

 record was kept of the water used on about 25 farms during the 

 period of the investigation. These farms were selected at widely 

 scattered points and represent fairly the various conditions of soil, 

 water rights, and irrigation practice encountered in the valley. 

 In Table 15 each farm is listed with its location, general type of 

 soil, and the kinds of water with which it is supplied.
