Subject: RE: BS: Thoughts on Water
I have seen full daylight irrigation in fields in Nevada. This could be determined by time-sharing agreements, but my feeling is that farming should not be allowed in hot, arid regions.
This would, however, stop some monetarily important agriculture, for example, bush cotton (long staple Pima) growing in southern New Mexico and Arizona. Cotton is a recommended crop for these semi-arid areas.
