Ground water problems in lower Gila River desert area
Lower Gila River desert area lies to west of confluence of Salt and Gila Rivers and stretches to Colorado River; area is largely covered with alluvial fill with river joining separate basins; area is subject to alternating floods and droughts; water pumped from underground is excessively saline; underground water in area is recharged by surface flow in Gila River and its tributaries, including washes; direct precipitation is from 4 to 6 in./yr; lined drainage canal, 60 mi long, has been built to carry irrigation waters through alkaline land.
