Six Hundred Thousand Acres Reclamation Project Planned
The Shoshone Journal notes Idaho's Carey Act closure of the Bruneau site in Owyhee County as the world’s largest irrigation scheme. A 600000 acre project near the Salmon and Snake rivers will store 2000000 acre feet from Jackson's Lake for seasonal release across a vast aqueduct system. The plan includes enlarging the South Side Twin Falls canal, cross-Salmon river distribution, and rail and power interests with a $50 per acre land price.
