Abstract
From the earliest settlement, co-operation has been the dominant factor in irrigation development in Western America. In one form or another, it has been the means whereby at least 50% of the lands now irrigated in the seventeen Western States have been provided with an irrigation water supply. It has occupied the great middle ground in irrigation between individual and partnership effort on the one hand, and commercial and Government effort on the other. Furthermore, throughout irrigation history, co-operation has been the stabilizing influence in the creation of American irrigation institutions and policies, for through it men have learned that in irrigation, the interests of the community far transcend the interests of individuals.
