come? The first problem is the over usage of water to meet our ever growing needs. Not only is water used to water crops but also to water plants and yards for people. According to the USDA over 90% of the nation’s water supply is used on irrigation. The irrigation in western states is higher due to the dry climate and lack of rain fall in the warmer months. It would be almost impossible to not irrigate and be able to sustain our current needs on the grain and livestock. The amount of water usage varies

1, 2011) — Research conducted in part at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has confirmed that in some production systems, planting potatoes in flat beds can increase irrigation water use efficiency. Agricultural Research Service (ARS) agricultural engineer Bradley King, who works at the ARS Northwest Irrigation and Soils Research Laboratory in Kimberly, Idaho, was one of the scientists who led these studies. ARS is USDA's chief intramural scientific research agency, and this research

Living at the river sides require strict organization – apart from building irrigation systems, people had to learn how to prevent the water from flooding

A Linear Dynamic Programming Approach to Irrigation System Management with Depleting Groundwater The Southern High Plains area of the United States has little rain fall. Farmers in these areas such as Texas rely most on irrigation systems. The main source of their water comes from the Ogallala Aquifer. With little rain fall and no one refilling the aquifer, it poses a threat of running dry. Many theoretical models have been created to solve this problem but are not realistic. An applied
