Generally not all irrigation water consumed in an area is used for crop production. Frequently great amounts of water can be recovered or saved. This paper gives a range in the amount of water consumed by varying types of vegetation under different climatic conditions in the United States. Alfalfa may consume 4.5 acre-ft of water per acre in the Salt River Valley of Arizona and only 1.5 acre-ft per acre in areas of Colorado. However, spring wheat; if it matures, will use about 1.25 to 1.50 acre-ft per acre regardless of where it is grown.
