Irrigation is a many-sided subject. The location, designing, and construction of canals, dams, head-gates, flumes, waste-ways, and measuring boxes belong to its engineering side. Preparing land for irrigation, determining the quantity of water needed by different crops and the best methods of applying it, are among its agricultural problems. Questions of water ownership, methods of establishing and acquiring titles to streams, the social and business relations of water users to each other, are among its legal and economic features. All these have a vital influence on the value of irrigation properties and on the peace and prosperity of irrigation communities. All need to be dealt with in order to reach a correct understanding of the present condition of irrigation development in the United States.
