Plate 1a Spatial distribution of Br- at the end of the second growing season (15 Oct. 1996) with every-furrow placement of water. The maximum observed Br- concentration was 391 g m-3 (ridge position, +0.05 to +0.10 m). The contouring is idealized (based on 7 by 26 array of measured points interpolated to a 10 by 50 grid)

Plate 1b Spatial distribution of Br- at the end of the second growing season (10 Oct. 1996) with alternate-furrow placement of water. Irrigated furrows are indicated by cross-hatching in the furrow. The maximum observed Br- concentration was 186 g m-3 (ridge position, +0.05 to +0.10 m). The contouring is idealized (based on 7 by 26 array of measured points interpolated to a 10 by 50 grid)
