Abstract
As the greatest consumer of water supplies in Washington State, irrigation plays an essential role in the state s economy and natural resources. Good irrigation management saves water and energy and increases crop yield and farm profitability. Given the impact of climate change and competing demands on the irrigation water supply of Spokane County, irrigation system efficiency is vital for robust agriculture. WSU WISE (Water and Irrigation Systems Efficiency) is a project funded by a United States Department of Agriculture Conservation Innovation Grant (USDA CIG) to evaluate irrigation system efficiency for five counties across Washington State. This publication is part of a series resulting from WISE and provides an overview of irrigated agriculture in Spokane County. Most of the data analyses provided are based on data published by the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service (USDA-NASS) and the Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA).
