The Starving Time in Jamestown was a time of deep starvation in Virginia during the winter of 1609 to 1910. 60 of the 214 colonists died. They were the first colonists to arrive at Jamestown, but they never planned on growing their own food. Smart, right?
Hope that helped!
The most important purpose of irrigation was to give water to soil and fertilize so that growing conditions were great for growing crops
