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! |
