The statistics of irrigation show number of farms and acreage irrigated, irrigated acreage by character of enterprise and character of water rights, acreage by drainage basin, capital invested and cost of operation and maintenance, quantity of water used, crops according to acreage yield, and value of crops grown on irrigated land.
Census statistics date back to 1790 and reflect the growth and change of the United States. Past census reports contain some terms that today’s readers may consider obsolete and inappropriate. As part of our goal to be open and transparent with the public, we are improving access to all Census Bureau original publications and statistics, which serve as a guide to the nation's history.
