Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cotton Irrigation in the Southwest The acreage of irrigated cotton in the United States has increased rapidly during recent years, and it is now irrigated in many areas where it was unthought of 30 years ago. In 1953 the United States irri gated a total of acres of cotton. Texas alone irrigated about acres of cotton in 1948, acres in 1953, and acres in 1955. Cotton is adapted to a wide range of soil conditions and produces well on both fine and coarse-textured soils. It is relatively tolerant to saline soil conditions that com mouly occur on irrigated lands in the Southwest. Cotton is generally considered a warm climate crop and needs at least 190 rather warm, frost-free days to produce a high yield. However, good production has been attained under a variety of conditions rang ing in elevation from below sea level in the Imperial Valley of California to feet in Arizona, and in climate from the arid regions of the Southwest to the subhumid areas of the Southeast.

Download or read book Irrigated Farms in a Subhumid Cotton Area written by O. J. Scoville and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigated Farms in a Subhumid Cotton Area: Income Potentials and Development Problems The W. C. Austin Project, in the cotton and cash-gram farming area of southwestern Oklahoma, represents one of the first attempts to intro duce irrigation of a project type into a subhumid area. Before irriga tion, cotton farms averaged about 240 acres and cash-grain farms about 320 acres. This multiple-purpose project was constructed to provide irrigation Water, flood control, and a municipal water supply for the city of Altus. Irrigation construction costs are to be repaid in 410 equal annual install ments. However, at the discretion of the Secretary of the Interior, a flexible payment plan, based upon gross income may be required. Water was delivered to a few acres in 1946, and to the entire project in 1950. The first payment on construction costs was made in 1951. Irrigation charges per acre vary from year to year. In 1952 and 1953 minimum charges were per acre for operation and mainte nance (o and M) and for cost of construction. From 1948 to 1950 an additional charge of $3.50'per acre-foot was made for all water de livered in excess of acre-foot per irrigable acre. In 1951 the charge for additional water above acre-foot Was per acre-foot, and in 1952 it was for additional water-above acre-foot. Because of a shortage of water in 1953, only the minimum charges were levied an acre for O and M and for construction.

Download or read book Building the Borderlands A Transnational History of Irrigated Cotton along the MexicoTexas Border written by Casey Walsh and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cotton, crucial to the economy of the American South, has also played a vital role in the making of the Mexican north. The Lower Rio Bravo (Rio Grande) Valley irrigation zone on the border with Texas in northern Tamaulipas, Mexico, was the centerpiece of the Cardenas government's effort to make cotton the basis of the national economy. This irrigation district, built and settled by Mexican Americans repatriated from Texas, was a central feature of Mexico's effort to control and use the waters of the international river for irrigated agriculture. Drawing on previously unexplored archival sources, Casey Walsh discusses the relations among various groups comprising the "social field" of cotton production in the borderlands. By describing the complex relationships among these groups, Walsh contributes to a clearer understanding of capitalism and the state, of transnational economic forces, of agricultural and water issues in the U.S.-Mexican borderlands, and of the environmental impacts of economic development. Building the Borderlands crosses a number of disciplinary, thematic, and regional frontiers, integrating perspectives and literature from the United States and Mexico, from anthropology and history, and from political, economic, and cultural studies. Walsh's important transnational study will enjoy a wide audience among scholars of Latin American and Western U.S. history, the borderlands, and environmental and agricultural history, as well as anthropologists and others interested in the environment and water rights.

Download or read book Irrigation in Early States written by Stephanie Rost and published by Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago. This book was released on 2022-06-30 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Irrigation has long been of interest in the study of the past. Many early civilizations were located in river valleys, and irrigation was of great economic importance for many early states because of the key role it played in producing an agricultural surplus, which was the main source of wealth and the basis of political power for the elites who controlled it. Agricultural surplus was also necessary to maintain the very features of statehood, such as urbanism, full-time labor specialization, state institutions, and status hierarchy. Yet, the presence of large-scale or complex irrigation systems does not necessarily mean that they were under centralized control. While some early states organized the construction, operation, and maintenance of irrigation works and resolved conflicts related to water distribution, other early governments left most of the management to local farmers and controlled only the surplus. The cross-cultural studies in this volume reexamine the role of irrigation in early states. Ranging geographically from South America and the southwestern United States to North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, they describe the physical attributes and environments of early irrigation systems; various methods for empirical investigation of ancient irrigation; and irrigation's economic, sociopolitical, and cosmological dimensions. Through their interdisciplinary perspectives, the authors-all experts in the field of irrigation studies-advance both methodological and theoretical approaches to understanding irrigation in early civilizations.

Book excerpt: "Illuminating." --New York Times WIRED's Required Science Reading 2016 When we think of water in the West, we think of conflict and crisis. Yet despite decades of headlines warning of mega-droughts, the death of agriculture, and the collapse of cities, the Colorado River basin has thrived in the face of water scarcity. John Fleck shows how western communities, whether farmers and city-dwellers or U.S. environmentalists and Mexican water managers, actually have a promising record of conservation and cooperation. Rather than perpetuate the myth "Whiskey's for drinkin', water's for fightin' over," Fleck urges readers to embrace a new, more optimistic narrative--a future where the Colorado continues to flow.
