This book provides a comprehensive identification guide to the most common aquatic and marginal weeds that infest irrigation systems in the Western United States. The author draws from extensive research conducted by various organizations, including the Water and Power Resources Service, the Science and Education Administration, and the US Fish and Wildlife Service, to provide detailed descriptions and illustrations of these harmful plants. The book is written primarily for field personnel and water user organizations directly involved with biological problems requiring identification aids, but is accessible to anyone who wishes to learn about the identification of aquatic weeds. Included are plants such as waterweed, cattails, smartweed, and bulrush, each of which can disrupt water flow, choke trashracks and pump inlets, and hinder the operation of irrigation systems. The author also discusses the importance of correct plant identification for proper control recommendations. This book is a valuable resource for anyone involved in the identification and control of aquatic weeds in irrigation systems and provides practical information for combating these costly and disruptive pests.
