Data on water irrigation efficiency for surface water projects — that is, dams that deliver water to farmers through a network of canals — show that crop
usage of irrigation water never reaches 100 percent simply because some irrigation water evaporates, some percolates downward, and some runs off.
«How can we connect the canals better to the canal towns, and what kind
of programming should we have so that we attract more tourists and recreation, better quality
of life, access to the waterfront, economic development... «it's about tourism, it's about recreation, it's about
irrigation for our farmers, it's about
water usage for some
of the manufacturing and process plants that we have along the canal system,» Quiniones told WXXI News.
