Agricultural Revolution, irrigation has been used to his greatest advantage to grow crops on fertile soil in just almost anywhere from the desert oasis of the Nile River in Egypt to China’s lush Yellow River Valley. The exponential success of the Yuma Valley Irrigation Project is one of these stunning examples of this technological feat that is as old as mankind itself. However, this was not possible without utmost support from the U.S. Government, the superb diligence and persistence of its engineers and the peoples of Yuma County, and the consideration of the benefits and shortfalls in the past and present. (Question 1) How did geography impact the development of irrigation in Yuma County? Yuma’s Irrigation Project was not something that the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation started simply alone.

The feasibility studies conducted by the World Bank of a proposed irrigation project often gives much emphasis to physical engineering and technical aspects of the local areas, since irrigation projects are superficially considered to be a technical development. As a result, most of the important decisions and project planning are solely made by the technical experts, neglecting the socio-cultural context of the locale (Cernea 1991, p. 43). To illustrate, in the sub-Saharan Africa the rate of…

Crop Irrigation uses an area 's water resources to grow the particular commodity this has obvious consequences depending on the method they choose.
