"These new faun areas inevitably create villages
and towns whose populations thrive from furn
ishing supplies to the farmer, marketing his
crops, and from the industries which grow
around these areas. The economy of seven import
ant cities cf the West had its base in irrigation
Denver, Salt Lake City, Phoenix, Spokane, Boise,
El Paso, Fresno, and Yakima. Indeed these new
centers of productivity send waves of economic
improvement to the far borders like a pebble
thrown into a pond. Through irrigation, man has
been able to build a stable civilization in an
area that might otherwise have been open only
to intermittent exploitation."
Second Hoover Commission, 1955.
