West Texas Farmers Eye Rainwater Harvest For Irrigation
LUBBOCK—West Texas farmers could save about 15 million dollars annually by delaying irrigation until moisture returns. A UPI report explains a project that reshapes playa lakes to concentrate water, reducing evaporation and boosting available irrigation supply while potentially cutting mosquito populations. Hydrologist W L Broadhurst notes evaporation would drop roughly with a smaller surface area, improving water use across the High Plains.
