Consolidation of Irrigation Systems: Phase II - Engineering, Economic, Legal and Sociological Requirements

摘要

The physical, social, legal, political, and economic factors involved in the consolidation or irrigation systems are discussed. Phase I of the consolidation plan emphasized the general description of eight irrigation systems and the theoretical framework for the implementation of the consolidation is considered in Phase II. The conditions in the Poudre and Grand Valleys, Colorado; Ashley and Utah Valleys, Utah; Eden and Riverton Valleys, Wyoming; the Truckee-Carson Irrigation District in Nevada; and the Salt River Valley in Arizona were compared and evaluated for future consolidation.
