by Nicholas Potter, Aaron Hrozencik, and Steven Wallander

Irrigation water delivery organizations provide water for about 19 million irrigable acres, or approximately a third of all irrigated harvested cropland in the United States. This report examines these delivery organization inflows and outflows, and the extent of water transfers both within and across delivery organizations. The report is the fourth in a series of economic briefs on key topics related to irrigation organizations using data collected in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 2019 Survey of Irrigation Organizations.
