Abstract

Sprinkler systems are applying water to agricultural lands once
thought to be too far removed in elevation from any source of water on the
Snake River Plain of Idaho. Sprinkler development in the area began about
1950 and will continue as long as there is water in the Snake River for agricultural
development. Most early systems required the water to be lifted
from 100 to 200 feet. By 1960 the total pumping heads on systems were
400 to 500 feet, and by 1965 systems with pumping lifts of 750 feet were
being installed.
