Ground water for irrigation in the Snake River Basin in Idaho

“…Underflow from the other streams would be through silicic volcanic rocks and associated sediments, inasmuch as the volume of alluvium where the streams enter the Snake River Plain is small. West (1956) estimated that potential recharge on the apron of silicic volcanic rocks and associated sediments and basalt tl at blanket the western slopes of the foothills in the northeastern part of the Fort Hall Indian Reservation is 0.44 acre-foot per acre per year (all precipitation during the growing season plus 50 percent of the winter precipitation was assumed to be evapotranspired). In the absence of data from stations at higher elevations from which to compute the distribution of precipitation and because West's method estimates only water that might be available for recharge, it is not practical to extend this method to the mountainous areas.…”

“…Some of the watershed drains to the Teton River. Tributary streams of lesser importance are Marsh Creek, which empties into the Portneuf River near McCammon, and Willow Creek, a tributary of the Snake River. i Much of the information on the subarea is taken from Stearns, Crandall, and Steward (1938), Mansfield (1920,1927), and West (1956 Precipitation ranges from an average of 10 inches at lower altitudes near the Snake Eiver Plain and in some of the upper drainage areas of the Portneuf River to more than 20 inches on the higl Q-r mountains (pi. 2).…”
