Synopsis
Excerpt from Cost of Pumping From Wells for the Irrigation of Rice in Louisiana and Arkansas
In part to avoid the provisions of these contracts and have an independent supply and in part to cover lands not reached by the large canals, many growers have put down wells and installed their own pumping machinery. For several years the author has been making pump tests in the rice districts, the results of which have been published in previous reports, but with few exceptions the plants tested have been the large ones taking water from streams and bayous; that is, those furnishing water to planters under con tracts such as described above. During the season of 1907, however, the small pumping plants lifting water from wells for the use of the owners received special attention. This was done for the purpose of determining the cost of water supplied in this way and in general the efficiency Of the methods and machinery used.
