Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the extensive use of irrigation in the state of Florida and has done so since the late 19th century. It explains that while the state receives plentiful rainfall, the distribution is irregular, which has led to irrigation becoming necessary, especially during droughts which - as the author explains - can be severe enough to cause pine trees to die. The book describes the different types of soil found in the state and how their characteristics impact the available irrigation methods. Various water sources are discussed, including lakes, streams, artesian wells, and the impacts of the underlying water-bearing limestone strata. The author provides detailed descriptions of the irrigation systems used in the state, including subirrigation, overhead spray, and various methods of furrow irrigation, with detailed descriptions of the Sanford subirrigation system. The book also touches on the impact of irrigation on the local citrus and vegetable industries and on the challenges of balancing water usage with preserving the natural environment.
