ABSTRACT This bibliography identifies some of the important literature on the economic and related aspects of irrigation, with special but not exclusive reference to the humid regions of the Eastern United States. The bibliogra- phy is categorized under three main headings: on-farm irrigation planning; state, regional, geographic, and economic assessments; and national irriga- tion and selected policy assessments. To account for distinctive climatic variations reflected in irrigated cropland patterns in the Eastern States, four specific agricultural areas are given intensive treatment, including Florida, the Delmarva Peninsula, southern New Jersey, and Minnesota. Key Words: Irrigation planning; state, regional geographic, and economic assessments; national irrigation policy; climatic regions; drought frequencies and growth models. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * This report was developed for limited distribution to * the research community outside the U.S. Department of * Agriculture. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * CONTENTS Page Foreword and Introduction .......................................... 1 On-Farm Irrigation Planning.......................................... 5 Anderson, Raymond L. ................. ........................ 5 Bruce, R.

Some studies on the methodology of research related to irrigated land use are also included. Decisions to adopt irrigation and other intensive meth- ods of cultivation are influenced by capital availability, farm size, market orientation, and numerous other variables. Drought conditions may trigger irrigation adoption, but its sustained growth depends on other factors, such as capital availability, crop type, soils, etc. The bibliography is arranged in three sections and alphabetically by author, as shown in the Contents. Furthermore, it is organized to include seminal papers dealing with or relevant to humid area irrigation, rather than to provide an exhaustive and indiscriminate compendium of references or a complete digest of their substance. The first section encompasses the cost of irrigation adoption, yield responses of crops, and the seasonality of irrigation water use--all considered at a farm level. Farm budgeting methods to measure the profitability and cost of irrigation have been devel- oped by Dhillon; Mackert, et al.; and Maki, et al. These recent works apply to the states of New Jersey, Georgia, and Minnesota. The costs of each agricultural operation and net returns of some crops are calculated. To account for distinctive climatic variations reflected in the land use patterns in the humid east, four specific agericultural areas are 2 represented. There four regions are: (1) Florida, reflecting sub-tropical climatic conditions; (2) Maryland; (3) New Jersey, depicting mid-latitude temperate climates; and (4) Minnesota, representing relatively cold climatic regions, usually found in the interior parts of continents and along the higher latitudes. This sample of areas provides a variety of spatial distributions of irrigated land use, it also illustrates some important distinctions between the agricultural economies of these regions. Flinn and Musgrave's important paper, "Development and Analysis of Input-Output Relations for Irrigation Water," is included for methodological purposes. Anderson develops and applies simulation methods as applied to identify optimum crop patterns in Colorado. This work was later extended by Arthur Maass and Raymond Anderson to other regions of the World, espe- cially to Spain, California, and China. It is applicable to arid as well as humid regions. 1/ The second section of the Bibliography deals with state, regional, geographic, and economic aspects of irrigation. Harvey's research elab- orates on normative land use models where transportation costs are viewed as having a major determining influence on irrigation and other indicators of land use intensity. From the original descriptive Von Thunen model a wide variety of other, normative models have been reviewed, such as static or partial equilibrium, dynamic economic function, decisionmaking, and behavioral models. Bajwa outlines selected irrigation growth models based in part on extensive field work and in part based on the theoretical 1/ See Arthur Maass, and Raymond L.

The statistical models in this study are at the regional scale, wherein data on some variables associated with irriga- tion are used in the regression models. The relationships of certain var- iables were identified during initial field surveys conducted in New Jersey, the Delmarva region, and North Carolina. Headley's paper also uses regres- sion models to identify the significance of certain variables in explaining irrigated land use. Lynn and Kiker discuss increases in water use in Southwest Florida (SWF), and also point out that during the period (1949-1969) the (SWF) region witnessed a decline of 1 million acres of cropland. The data indi- cate an increase of 143,000 acres in irrigation during the same period. Thus, for each acre reduction in farmland during the 20-year period, an accompanying increase of 1/8 acre in irrigated cropland is recorded. Reynolds

Received: 1 October 2020; Accepted: 18 November 2020; Published: 23 November 2020 Abstract: This paper commemorates the influence of Arjen Y. Hoekstra on water footprint research of the United States. It is part of the Special Issue “In Memory of Prof. Arjen Y. Hoekstra”. Arjen Y. Hoekstra both inspired and enabled a community of scholars to work on understanding the water footprint of the United States. He did this by comprehensively establishing the terminology and methodology that serves as the foundation for water footprint research. His work on the water footprint of humanity at the global scale highlighted the key role of a few nations in the global water footprint of production, consumption, and virtual water trade. This research inspired water scholars to focus on the United States by highlighting its key role amongst world nations. Importantly, he enabled the research of many others by making water footprint estimates freely available. We review the state of the literature on water footprints of the United States, including its water footprint of production, consumption, and virtual water flows. Additionally, we highlight metrics that have been developed to assess the vulnerability, resiliency, sustainability, and equity of sub-national water footprints and domestic virtual water flows.

    THE ROLE OF THE UNITED STATES ARMY IN THE EXPLORATION AND MAPPING OF THE KANSAS AREA: 1806- 1845 Lieutenant Colonel John B. Garver, Jr. * United States Military Academy The military campaigns between the United States Army and the plains Indians of the trans-Mississippi West have been the subject of many books and articles, both popular and scholarly. Some writers have emphasized the romantic aspects of frontier military service; others have portrayed the soldier as a ruthless and persistent threat to the simple life of the noble Indian. Few have attempted critically and objectively to describe and inter- pret the broader role of the United States Army in the story of national development, that is, as an agent of coloniza- tion in the West.l Fewer still have written from an historical-geographical perspective. As early as 1893, Frederick Jackson Turner described the spatial movement of Americans west as a cultural suc- cession of frontier types. Stand at Cumberland Gap and watch the pro- cession of civilization, marching single file-- the buffalo following the trail to the salt springs, the Indian, the fur-trader and hunter, *Lieutenant Colonel Garver is an assistant professor of geography at the united States Military Academy IThe first substantial contribution in this regard was the early work of Henry P. Beers, The Western Military Frontier 1815-1846 (1935). More recent book length publi- cations include: Averam B. Bender, The March of Empire (1952); W. Turrentine Jackson, Wagon Roads West (1952); Francis P. Prucha, Broadax and Bayonet (1953); and William H. Goetzmann, Army Exploration in the American West (1959), and Exploration and Empire (1966).

According to Medina, the Inquisition banned the work because of the author's stiff criticism of parish priests and inclusion of material considered injurious to the papacy. Almoguera's plea for reform reflects an increasingly difficult era of Spanish rule in Peru, as Spanish supremacy began to decline and government and church officials in Spanish America demonstrated more concern for their personal gain. $1,750.00 3.
