Complexity in a Ditch

Bringing Water to the Idaho Desert

Beschreibung

Water--or the lack of it--has profoundly shaped the arid American West. On Idaho's Snake River Plain, the irrigation process has been particularly complex, influenced by local and national politics, geography, and technology. Hugh T. Lovin's insightful essays thoroughly examine the transformation and controversy related to the region's irrigation.
