Much Strange Life in a Desert
In the Weret desert irrigation reversed the usual order of life as water brought growth. Water carriers haul barrels thirty to forty miles and bury them to prevent evaporation. Mesquite thrives under sand, a fuel source, while desert dwellers reverse fences and chains. Irrigation has reclaimed nearly a million acres, bringing crops and new pests. Watermelons prosper then become wild, Russian thistle and mistletoe spread, and alfalfa hosts billions of striped caterpillars that devastate fields before returning as butterflies. Farmers, unable to counter the pests, surrender the third alfalfa crop each year to nature.
