Cultural influences on irrigation drainage water. Proceedings from Irrigation and Drainage Division Specialty Conference, Spokane, Washington, September 26-28, 1972 Item Info

Agricultural Engineers and Soil Scientists from the University of Idaho joined in a cooperative effort to study what effects irrigated agriculture might have on water quality in the Boise Valley in southwestern Idaho. The Boise Valley was selected as a research site for several reasons. There was little information available concerning the quantity and quality of the area's irrigation drainage water. Gravity irrigation systems, which are operated at various efficiencies, are used to apply water throughout most of the study area. Water table depths tend to be quite shallow throughout most of the valley. Also, the quality of water in the Boise Valley is of importance to both the established agriculture and the rapidly expanding population of the area.
