WATER RESOURCES OF CALIFORNIA 527<br />
Mean seasonal precipitation on valley and mesa lands <strong>of</strong> the Colorado<br />
Desert Area for the period from 1897-98 to 1946-47 is estimated to have<br />
been 2,030,000 acre-feet, as shown in Table 81. Precipitation records are<br />
so scattered in this Area that this estimate is no more than a rough<br />
approximation. Although nearly half <strong>of</strong> the Colorado Desert Area is<br />
classed as valley or mesa land, rainfall upon it is generally so light that<br />
aggregate contribution from this source to the <strong>State</strong>'s water resources<br />
is <strong>of</strong> little practical significance.
