1Precipitation adjustments span range of estimated mean annual precipitation.
2 Computed as product of the adjusted ET rate and ET-unit acreage (table 10). Adjusted ET rate computed by subtracting precipitation adjustment from mean annual ET rate. ET-unit identifier is colored to match ET unit as mapped on plate 1. ET units are described in table 3.
3 Estimated mean ground-water discharge is rounded sum of adjusted mean annual ET computed for each ET unit.
