Water waste and liability in Collingsworth irrigation
The Collingsworth County Commissioner's Court and the Collingsworth County Underground Water Conservation District warn of recurring end gun and tailwater waste from furrow irrigation. They cite groundwater waste, road hazards, higher maintenance costs, and legal liability, with annual repair costs around 1,700 dollars for pivot end guns and 1,500 dollars for tailwater. District GM Tommy Powell urges farmers to curb end gun inefficiency, noting up to 35 percent of end gun water is wasted, equating to about 5.7 million gallons per year per end gun.
