Yeah for the purposes of runoff, we're prioritizing irrigated area over non-irrigated because of the potential for control. There are plenty of problems in areas where irrigation is not necessary; arsenic in Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, etc. I should have linked to the research rather than NASA, where author Milesi was interviewed: https://www.isprs.org/proceedings/xxxvi/8-w27/milesi.pdf https://www.isprs.org/proceedings/xxxvi/8-w27/milesi.pdf >> All believable, but if we’re talking overall, NASA says satellite imagery shows the irrigated area for turf outweighing the next eight crops combined. > If you have ever driven across the Midwest you know this is incorrect. I could not find that statement in the linked article Link rot is kicking in. https://web.archive.org/web/20160330015359/http://scienceline.org/2011/07/lawns-vs-crops-in-the-continental-u-s/ https://web.archive.org/web/20160330015359/http://sciencelin...
