- Summary:
-
A New Era for Irrigation draws 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 conditions in the future. The book 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, uncertainties related to American Indian water rights issues, and concern about environmental problems.
