California Interior Valley and 15th Congress Irrigation Plan
The Central Valley of California stretching 500 miles from the Sacramento to the San Joaquin would hold about 10 million acres, with 26 irrigation projects planned by the National Reclamation Service. When completed these works would irrigate 2,198,000 acres, cost $60,000,000, and provide farms for about 150,000 farmers, expanding agricultural output and population across a vast prairie regarded as ripe for vast irrigation development.
