- Desert Wildlife Area Unit (wdfw.wa.gov)
The Desert Unit was wholly desert prior to the Columbia Basin Irrigation Project. It is the lowest part of the very large Quincy Basin that once was filled with glacial floodwater. The natural basin now serves as a collector for irrigation water from upslope farmlands. Most of this water is collected in the Winchester and Frenchman Hills wasteways, which meander southeasterly across several miles of the Desert Unit and eventually empty into the southwestern part of Potholes Reservoir.
And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me there is as it were a plague in the house:
