California Cotton Bounces Back

Even though our water situation in the Los Banos area is better than some, the effects of a drought (legislative or otherwise) have terrible impacts all over the state," Bowles says. "From an engineering, biological and economic standpoint, all farmers dependent on surface water deliveries in California are yoked together, even if some presently suffer more than others."
In the long-term, the competition for water resources will only get fiercer, according to almost anyone with expertise in the field. It's not only a matter of conservation, but also a matter of environmental impact.
"Our district is rapidly converting to buried drip, which not only increases yield and saves water and labor," Bowles says. "It also reduces runoff, which will become more and more of an issue in the years ahead."
