| Abstract |
Three separate reports, each dealing with irrigation in a different region of the United States are brought together in this volume. The first study, 'Western Irrigation: Its Past and Future Growth,' assesses the role of irrigation in the 17 western states in producing the nation's farm output and the resource and environmental pressures affecting and stemming from western irrigation. The second study, 'Growth and Prospects for Irrigation in the Eastern United States,' provides a brief history of the growth of irrigated acreage by farm production region and an assessment of the prospects for increased irrigation in the Lake States and the Southeast. The third study, 'The Economic Potential for the Expansion of Irrigation in the Mississippi Delta Region,' focusses on a sample six-county area and employs benefit-cost analysis to estimate the potential number of acres that can be profitably irrigated under alternative product prices, input costs, management levels, and irrigation systems. |
