- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about irrigation in Georgia. More than 1.5 million acres of orchards and fields are irrigated in Georgia, and a cornucopia of vegetable, fruit, nut, fiber, and animal feed crops are made possible by the surface runoff and groundwater stores that are replenished by Georgia's generous rainfall. A close look at the workings of the two most prevalent types of irrigation reveals how critical these processes are to sustaining Georgia's agricultural economy.
