The team visited
two Bowen ratio field sites in the Wood River
basin of the Klamath River system. The first site is at Agency
Ranch which lies north of and adjacent to Agency Lake. This is an unirrigated site. The
second site is at the Owens Ranch in the northern part of the
basin close to where Annie Spring flows
into the basin. This was an irrigated site at the time
Bowen ratio measurements were made there. Both sites are
pasture which is grazed by cattle. Soil pits were dug to
the extent of the root zone to get the sense of the root zone
distribution and variations in soil bulk density. We also
ran small ring infiltration tests (9 locations at each site in
a fixed grid) at these two sites.
