Ideas
for a Better Food System: Water
"New Mexico, where water is scarce, has a
tradition of community-controlled irrigation that is making a comeback. The
name for this system, acequia, refers
not only to the network of canals that brings water to farmers across the Southwest, but also to the
traditional community management of the water."
Rep. Ben Ray Luján (D, NM-03) speaks on the floor of the U.S.
House yesterday (January 26, 2009) about water availability and
allocation issues important to his district and New Mexico. Rep.
Luján mentions his experience in tending to the acequia on his
family's small farm saying, "I know the importance of water to rural
economies across America. Land, water and sustainability are not
only fundamental to life in my state they are fundamental to rich
cultures and traditions that make New Mexico great."

The
Wonders of Water in Mendoza
Mendoza
averages 220 mm of rainfall per year (under 9 inches), about the same
as El Paso, Texas. The region's vineyards, olive groves, park
vegetation, drinking water supplies all owe their existence to an
elaborate system of irrigation that dates back to Incan times.

TRANSFER
OF ISLAMIC TECHNOLOGY TO THE WEST
With the spread of
the Islamic Empire westward, agricultural and
irrigation methods and techniques were introduced into the western
regions of Islam. There is a unanimous opinion among historians
that the present Spanish irrigation systems of Valencia and Andalusia
are of Muslim origin.
