Book Description
Excerpt from Soil Conservation in Irrigated Areas In viewing the scattered and oasis-like agricultural communi ties of the western states, it is difficult for the casual observer to realize that more often than not every bit of greenery in sight is de pendent upon the artificial and almost continuous application of water. In fact, the very presence of human habitations in many western locali ties depends upon the availability of water for irrigation. Thus it is understandable why so many land-users in the West continually emphasize the necessity for direct and determined attacks upon problers which have to do with the control and use of water. Under such circumstances, it is obviously impossible to develop and carry out comprehensive soil conser vation programs without taking into account the varied land-use problenm which are directly or indirectly related to availability of water supply and the utilization of such water for irrigation and other purposes.
