;ys-Once established,- these demonstra-
tion units became the nuclei of the
area wherein numerous other installa-
tions began to appear-the surround-
ing farmers having observed the in-
creased efficiency of water manage-
ment afforded by such systems, and
their dollar making potential.
EFFECTIVENESS OF PROGRAM
The total effectiveness of the Dis-
trict's tailwater abatement and educa-
tional program cannot be accurately
assessed, primarily because surveys of
tailwater and playa recovery installa-
tions were not made in earlier years.
However, a 1968 survey showed that
there were abour 1 .000 1dilr mid
playa recirculatuL %3gIlcfjll in he foir

the creation of tailwater waste. In
these -ounties, more than 86,000 acre
feet t tailwater may be reclaimed in
an average year.
The magnitude of tailwater waste,
and the desirable effects of recircula-
tion systems, can best be demonstrated
by showing their effect on the deple-
tion of the aquifer. This condition is
shot ii by the curves below.
ANALYSIS OF CURVES
FrLIm January 1962 to January
197H the average, cumulative decline
of the water table for the four counties
under consideration was 28.92 feet,
or an average annual decline of 3.62
feet per year.
M i lout any tailwater recovery the
total cumulative decline during this
samc period may have been 30.68 feet,
or 1.76 feet more decline. This rep-
resents a reduction in the decline of
i te wata Ihk al nc;t ii 6 percent.
