Reclaiming Nevada's Deserts Under U S Irrigation Plan
Nevada’s ancient inland seas and arid plains spur a major federal project. The Truckee Carson program, worth about nine million dollars, will reclaim roughly 50 900 acres, converting desert lands to irrigated farms managed by a revolving fund. Major facilities include a 31 mile canal from the Truckee to the Carson, storage reservoirs, and 200 miles of distributaries. The plan envisions 60 000 acres irrigated this spring, 100 000 acres under canals within years, and a broad expansion of farming including apples, peaches, grapes, wheat, and potatoes. The effort aims to double Nevada’s population and stimulate mining and regional growth under new irrigation laws overseen by Engineer L H Taylor and Chief Engineer Frederick B Newell.
