Vast irrigation schemes outlined for Colorado river
George H Maxwell, executive chairman of the National Irrigation Association, spoke at Arlington about United States government irrigation plans. He said the Grand Canyon project will deploy a large workforce to build reservoirs and main canals, making the Colorado River the Nile of America. Water from the river could irrigate a vast fertile area, supporting a population larger than California, with earlier harvests and tropical crops reaching markets sooner. The work will take years but promises immense regional benefits. Washington Post
