Land classification as conducted in the Bureau of Reclamation is on the basis of utility for irrigation farming. Three main types are made which are similar in main essentials but differ in detail and refinement. The principal function of all these is to eliminate from the area to be irrigated (arable land) lands which do not have sufficient productive capacity to support a farm family at a reasonable level of living and permit the payment of construction assessments. The “arable” lands are further divided into classes and subclasses on the basis of productive value under irrigation.
