Synopsis
This book chronicles irrigation's economic and social narrative from its ancient roots to the 20th century. Once a local, often haphazard endeavor, in the US, irrigation took on national significance, prompting dedicated policymaking and innovative engineering. Faced with arid landscapes unsuitable for farming, irrigation emerged as a lifeline for westward expansion and agricultural prosperity. The author traces the evolution of irrigation practices, from rudimentary techniques to large-scale government-funded projects, highlighting the challenges and successes of this transformative practice. This book underscores the crucial role irrigation has played in shaping the American landscape, feeding its population, and driving its economic growth.
