Abstract
Phreatophytes are vigorous, water-loving plants ranging from small natural vegetation to large saltcedar and cottonwood trees; saltcedar and cottonwoods use from 50 to 100% more water than most agricultural crops; in California and New Mexico about 25 to 50% of consumptive use by these plants may be saved by elimination of saltcedar and cottonwoods.
