Water Resource Management in the Upper Snake River Valley Item Info

In the irrigated areas of the western United States, numerous water management problems exist due, partially, to the historically uncoordinated development of multiple irrigation companies and districts. Some of the problems associated with these developments are multiple canals contributing high seepage losses, uncoordinated acquisition of adequate water supplies, and lack of effective methods, procedures and authorities for improving water deliveries and farm water management. The objectives of this study are to develop the technology for: (1) Analyzing regional water management problems. (2) Developing and evaluation alternate water management solutions based on the physical, economic, and sociological aspects of the area involved. (3) Systematic, rational methods of scheduling irrigation water deliveries to multiple canal companies and districts.
