Abstract Not Available – First paragraph follows:

Today's concern for the quality of our environment has prompted investigations of the effects of irrigated agriculture on the underlying ground water.

Agricultural Experiment Station funded by the National Science Foundation's program on Research Applied to National Needs (RANN).
