Agricultural Infrastructure for Urban Irrigation

by D. Heinert, (M.ASCE), Water Engineering Div, Phoenix, United States,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Water Policy and Management: Solving the Problems

Abstract:

The Salt River Project (SRP) began as a provider of water for agricultural irrigation. Now most of the lands are urban and receive water distributed by municipalities at high-cost drinking water standards. Some of the urban lands use SRP's infrastructure for urban irrigation. Urban use of the gravity irrigation system has saved money for municipalities and urban end-user customers. Although encumbered with various issues, expansion of urban acreage served by SRP's irrigation distribution system is an opportunity.
