Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation Development and Public Water Policy This is a study of the economic and social considerations that are part and parcel of irrigation development and public water policy. No longer can an irrigation project be considered solely in terms of the engineering problems it raises. Indeed, its success depends equally upon economic feasibility and social use. Although the federal government has carried on organized activity in this field for more than fifty years, no comprehensive coverage of the problems in irrigation development has been attempted since 1927, when Ray P. Teele published his notable work on the economics of land reclamation. New concepts, new approaches and procedures, have been applied and ever more attention is being paid to the socioeconomic implications. Admittedly, the problems of irrigated agriculture and its place in public water policy are complicated and controversial; nevertheless, a full, up-to-date survey seems necessary to assess the accomplishments of the past twenty-five years.

This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation in the North Atlantic States The use of wells as a source of irrigation is quite limited, and throughout the East the absence of windmills is particularly notice able. The cost of well boring is considerably higher than in the South and West. Many farmers near the large cities use city water for irrigation, since, if the farm is small and the use of water is limited, it is thought to be cheaper than pumping. The usual cost of such water is $1 to per cubic feet, or $44 to $65 per acre - foot - a price which would certainly seem prohibitive to western irrigators, some of whom pay less than 1 per cent of these costs, and even where pumping is practiced, as in Santa Clara Valley, California, the average cost of raising water 65 feet is only per acre - foot, or 10 per cent of the above price. The success of irrigation under the conditions found in the East is due not to cheap water supply, but to the high value of crops grown and the careful distribution of the small quantity of water used.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation Works: Constructed by the United States Government Agriculture by irrigation is one of the oldest occupations of civilized man. Various parts of the world show evidences that irrigation was practised long before any historical record was kept. The remains of prehistoric irrigation works have been identified and extensively traced in southern Arizona along the Salt River and in parts of New Mexico and California. American Irrigation was left entirely to private and corporate. enterprise until the passage, in 1902, of the National Reclamation Act, which has been amended and modified from time to time by subsequent acts. The original reclamation act provided for the segregation of the receipts from the sales of public lands in the sixteen Western States and Territories into a special fund to be known as the Reclamation Fund and to be available for the survey, construction, and operation of reclamation projects in those States. It provided that the cost of those projects should be returned to the Reclamation Fund by the owners of private land or entry-men on public land in ten annual installments, no requirement of interest being made. A subsequent act in 1914 extended this time to twenty years. The original act required the expenditure of the major portion of the funds in the States in which it had been received. Under this act about one hundred million dollars have been expended in construction, and twenty-five projects are now in operation and prepared to deliver water to about one million five hundred thousand acres of land, about two-thirds of which was actually irrigated in 1916. The projects undertaken, unlike the early simple diversions upon valleys adjacent to the head works, involved, on the contrary, expensive storage works, high diversion dams, difficult tunnels, or long, expensive canal work upon side hills, where large investment was necessary before any water was brought to the land.

This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Problem of Securing Closer Relationship Between Agricultural Development and Irrigation Construction Irrigation Development in California - The state of California comprises acres. Of this, 29 per cent is agricultural land included in farms, 12 per cent is cultivated, 5 per cent is irrigated, and 8 per cent is under irrigation projects completed or partly constructed. Of the total area of the state 15 per cent may ultimately be irrigated. From 1909 to 1920 there was an increase of 58 per cent of the irrigated area of the state, but irrigation construction was provided for a larger area. Lag of Profitable Farming Behind Irrigation Construction - The total area projects were equipped to irrigate in 1924 amounted to acres. Of this, acres, or about 18 per cent, were irrigable but not irrigated, and acres, or about 82 per cent, were irrigated but not all of this was fully improved. Only acres, or 71 per cent, were making good use of the water. In the projects in the state acres of non-agricultural land, which is nominally assessed, were included. This land contributes little revenue to the projects, but is included because the larger total acreage results in a smaller average cost per acre for construction, which helps in promotion and financing. In addition, there are approximately acres of irrigable land in projects for which construction has not yet been provided.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Irrigated agriculture has played a critical role in the economic and social development of the United Statesâ€"but it is also at the root of increasing controversy. How can irrigation best make the transition into an era of increasing water scarcity? In A New Era for Irrigation, experts draw important conclusions about whether irrigation can continue to be the nation's most significant water user, what role the federal government should play, and what the irrigation industry must do to adapt to the conditions of the future. A New Era for Irrigation provides data, examples, and insightful commentary on issues such as: Growing competition for water resources. Developments in technology and science. The role of federal subsidies for crops and water. Uncertainties related to American Indian water rights issues. Concern about environmental problems. And more. The committee identifies broad forces of change and reports on how public and private institutions, scientists and technology experts, and individual irrigators have responded. The report includes detailed case studies from the Great Plains, the Pacific Northwest, California, and Florida, in both the agricultural and turfgrass sectors. The cultural transformation brought about by irrigation may be as profound as the transformation of the landscape. The committee examines major facets of this cultural perspective and explores its place in the future. A New Era for Irrigation explains how irrigation emerged in the nineteenth century, how it met the nation's goals in the twentieth century, and what role it might play in the twenty-first century. It will be important to growers, policymakers, regulators, environmentalists, water and soil scientists, water rights claimants, and interested individuals.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Use of Water in Irrigation: Report of Investigations Made in 1899 It is the opinion of those best informed that a better understanding of the existing situation must be had before we can wisely plan for future development. Controversies exist over the partial use of streams. These Should be ended before an attempt is made to greatly augment such use. The claims to water for existing and prospective ditches on many streams amount in the aggregate to many times the supply. These rights are now vested, and their character must influence what is to be done in the future. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
