Determination of water use by phreatophytes and hydrophytes
Evapotranspiration from arrowweed, saltbush, and cattail, and evaporation from bare soil with depths of 2 to 4 ft of water, were measured in evaporimeters of 100 to 1000 sq ft along lower Colorado River; preliminary results show uses of 5.0 to 9.0 ft/yr for arrowweed, 2.5 to 4.0 ft/yr for saltbush, approximately 8.5 ft/yr for cattail and 0.3 to 0.9 ft/yr for bare soil; related meteorological data are included.
