Phreatophytes -- Water use and potential water savings
Salvage of water consumed by phreatophytes of low economical value is considered, emphasis being placed on this source of water in arid and semiarid West; problems posed by measurement of evapotranspiration by phreatophytes are examined; three methods of salvage are listed; saltcedar, extremely high user of water, is increasing in area and density of growth; large amounts of water are available for salvage if practical means can be found to eradicate this phreatophyte; greasewood has relatively low unit use of water, but owing to large area (12,500 acres) in Great Basin potential for water salvage is great; substituting beneficial phreatophyte for greasewood appears to be most practical procedure.
