First Completed Government Irrigation Canal Prompts Vast West Growth
The Interior Department's Revision Service shows the irrigation program under way with 32.9 million dollars needed to reclaim desert land. The plan aims to water 1.935 million acres at 17.50 dollars per acre, while estimates gauge 60 million acres of arid land awaiting development. Private efforts have already reclaimed about 10 million acres, and the government envisions large future gains as floodwaters are stored and land is settled, with costs recovered through project expenses.
