Show PAKE V REGIONAL NEEDS AND DEMANDS Irrigation and Drainage Additional irrigated land amounting to 500,000 acres must be devel- oped to meet increased production requirements; 87,000 additional acres will be required to replace presently irrigated lands (often the best land) converted to other uses. For increased production on the present land, improved irrigation systems on 911,000 acres, increased water use efficiency, and improved cultural management practices are required. Nearly 600,000 acres need a supplemental water supply. Abandoned farm shows effects of a water shortage. Storage facilities planned for this area will alleviate this problem. On-farm drainage is needed on 437,000 acres of presently irrigated lands and 176,000 acres of newly developed lands. A total of 5*700 miles of on.-farm drains will be needed as well as 1,500 miles of project- type drains. |
