Sloan Says Has All Benefits Of Other Proposals
Sloan, a Billings reclamation engineer and author of Missouri River plans, told the South Dakota Reclamation Association meeting that irrigation yields 15 to 27 times the benefits of signal control or navigation. He estimated irrigation would add 129 million dollars annually by irrigating over 4.6 million acres, while flood control would yield about 60 million and navigation none. He argued for a comprehensive, compromise program combining irrigation, flood and silt control, hydroelectric power, and navigation, noting the bureau’s plan envisions 90 reservoirs versus the army’s 16.
