2009 Irrigation Pumpage Summary Released

 

On the 2009 Irrigation Pumpage Summary there were some increases in averages of water applied as compared to 2008. At the bottom of the page on the summary you can see that only 78% of all systems applied less than 12 inches per acre in 2009 as compared to 95% in 2008.  The District's reporting program only has about 115,000 acres enrolled while we estimate there are over 600,000 irrigated acres in the District.  The meter locations are shown in red on the map with the registered irrigation wells as a blue back drop.  The number of acres in the program reported as being irrigated by either pivot or gravity were tabulated and charted.  Approximately 20,000 acres in the program have been converted from gravity to pivot since the year 2000 as you can see on the gravity to pivot comparison chart.  During the time span from 2000 - 2009, pivots applied an average of 6.4 inches per acre less than gravity.  By converting those 20,000 acres to pivot, irrigators in the District's Reporting Program reduced their withdrawal of groundwater for irrigation by approximately 10,600 acres!
