Excerpt from The Problem of Securing Closer Relationship Between Agricultural Development and Irrigation Construction Irrigation Development in California - The state of California comprises acres. Of this, 29 per cent is agricultural land included in farms, 12 per cent is cultivated, 5 per cent is irrigated, and 8 per cent is under irrigation projects completed or partly constructed. Of the total area of the state 15 per cent may ultimately be irrigated. From 1909 to 1920 there was an increase of 58 per cent of the irrigated area of the state, but irrigation construction was provided for a larger area. Lag of Profitable Farming Behind Irrigation Construction - The total area projects were equipped to irrigate in 1924 amounted to acres. Of this, acres, or about 18 per cent, were irrigable but not irrigated, and acres, or about 82 per cent, were irrigated but not all of this was fully improved. Only acres, or 71 per cent, were making good use of the water. In the projects in the state acres of non-agricultural land, which is nominally assessed, were included. This land contributes little revenue to the projects, but is included because the larger total acreage results in a smaller average cost per acre for construction, which helps in promotion and financing. In addition, there are approximately acres of irrigable land in projects for which construction has not yet been provided.

Making Climate Compatible Development Happen introduces readers to the concept of climate compatible development (CCD) through exploring what it might look like, how it could be achieved in practice and identifying challenges and dilemmas raised by CCD. The book brings together research that explores the assumptions underlying CCD and applies the concept in a range of geographic and sectoral settings. The volume makes a significant contribution to the theorisation and evidence-base for how development efforts can be made more climate resilient and with lower greenhouse gas emissions than a ‘business as usual’ approach. It provides critical reflections on the vision and conceptualisation of CCD, exploring how to encourage it, and what trade-offs and challenges may be encountered. The contributions discuss the feasibility of achieving CCD, mechanisms that may support progress towards it, challenges that may be experienced and the roles of, and impacts on, different stakeholder groups. Following a critical reflection on the concept of CCD, the potential nature of, and barriers to, CCD, it is examined in relation to agriculture, renewable energy, forestry, pastoralism, coastal areas and fisheries, with case studies taken from countries including Ghana, India, Kenya, Mongolia, Mozambique and Peru. The book provides a valuable cross-sectoral and international critical reflection on the theory and practice of CCD, and will be a resource for postgraduates, established scholars and undergraduates from any social science discipline, policymakers and practitioners studying or working on areas related to the interface between environment (climate change) and international development.
