Explanation:
In the 2000 election, around 90% of Republican voters said they supported George W. Bush. He also got support from about 60% of voters identifying themselves as independents, as well as nearly 30% of voters identifying themselves as socially conservative Democrats. (Source of statistics: Pew Research Center polling, "The 2000 Elections.")
"Compassionate conservatism" advocated for traditional families, welfare reform, strengthening education, and providing assistance to people and countries in poverty. George W. Bush described it this way: "It is compassionate to actively help our citizens in need. It is conservative to insist on accountability and results."
Irrigation is the application of controlled amounts of water to plants at needed intervals. Irrigation helps to grow agricultural crops, maintain landscapes, and revegetate disturbed soils in dry areas and during periods of less than average rainfall. Irrigation also has other uses in crop production, including frost protection, suppressing weed growth in grain fields and preventing soil consolidation. In contrast, agriculture that relies only on direct rainfall is referred to as rain-fed or dry land farming. Irrigation systems are also used for cooling livestock, dust suppression, disposal of sewage, and in mining.
