A detailed discussion of a proposed irrigation bill outlines how proceeds from public land sales would fund irrigation projects in the arid West, with local control of water rights, five year residence, and limits on private land holdings. The measure envisions federal aid via land sale proceeds, settlement of settlers, and eventual private and public cooperation to reclaim vast lands and boost regional wealth.
