Senate Irrigation Committee to Study Western Arid Lands
The Senate Committee on Irrigation, with the Geological Survey, will begin active work from St Paul in July to assess the feasibility of reclaiming about 150,000 square miles of arid western lands for agriculture. Major Powell’s plan guides the inquiry, with private capital expected to fund irrigation experiments. Nevada has funded initial work and Colonel Bridges will lead field efforts this summer.
