- Description:
- In Idaho, about 97 percent of total water use is for irrigation. Some of the state's major exports are produced on irrigated acreage and the future prosperity of Idaho seems to depend on expanded food processing and food exports which in turn depend on increased agricultural production. Large increases in agricultural production can only be achieved through greater efficiencies in use of present resources or through including new land under irrigation. However, agriculture must compete with other water uses, such as industry, recreation and urban, for the available supply. In order to allocate water among its efficient uses, some estimates of its price or value must be available for the water distribution administrator.
