1 ET unit descriptions are given in table 1 of
this report and in table 7 of Laczniak and others (1999).
2 Rates for sites in Ash Meadows taken from Laczniak and others (1999, table 7) and in
Oasis Valley from table 3 in this report.
3 Average rate is computed as arithmetic mean of measured rates for each ET unit except
for SSV. Average rate for SSV is area-weighted average.
