Irrigation machinery has <u>quadrupled </u>the amount of irrigated land in the US.



Irrigation refers to the act of artificially providing water to land to support the development of crops. It is an antiquated agrarian system and may have been honed as ahead of schedule as 5000 B.C. along the banks of such consistently flooding streams as the Nile. Channels were burrowed to broaden the region secured by the surge, and dams were raised to trap water on the land after the floodwaters had died down. The advancement of preoccupation dams and of water-lifting machines allowed the water system of terrains lying over those typically come to by floodwaters. Remainders of these antiquated structures have been found in Egypt, where all farmlands are flooded; Iraq; Lebanon; Syria; China; India; Peru; Mexico; and the United States. Present day water system frameworks are as yet in view of these two key building developments.

1914 report of the U.S. commissioner of fisheries. What do you think the report was predicting?
Bond [772]
Fisheries are a place where fish are reared for commercial purposes. I'm not sure if you meant to put options in your question or not, but here is an example of that kind of report. 

DELAWARE BAY 
The relentless wind has made it all but impossible to fish the open waters of the Bay. Saturday morning a few boats tried to find some tog, but for the most part they were unsuccessful. Dirty water and strong currents greeted these hardy anglers and both of those conditions are detrimental to tog catching.

<span>Shoreline anglers did have some decent fishing for white perch and catfish along with a few short rockfish. A few boaters also found success with these fish especially in the Leipsic River. Bloodworms remain the best bait for perch and rockfish with chicken livers or cut bunker a good choice for the catfish.</span>
