Summary

A table summarizing the inventoried acreage by crop type and irrigation system was compiled for Broward County, Florida. The irrigated acreage totals were derived from analyses of satellite and aerial imagery. Crop types and irrigation system type were later field verified between March 2019 and March 2020. In addition, the table provides acreage totals by crop type reported by the U.S. Department of Commerce for 1982 and the U.S. Department of Agriculture for years between 1987 and 2017.

Purpose

A detailed inventory of irrigated acreage is needed to accurately estimate current agricultural water use and to provide a basis to project future demands. The primary purpose of this table is to provide a detailed summary of irrigated acreage for Broward County, Florida that can be used to help estimate water use by crop type. The project is a cooperative effort between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) Office of Agricultural Water Policy that is designed to spatially map, field-verify, and summarize all irrigated agricultural acreage for each county across Florida.
