Dixon, J.F. and Christesson, K.R., GIS shapefile and related summary data describing irrigated agricultural land use for the 15 counties fully within the Northwest Florida Water Management District, Florida, 2021: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9WXJPA4.

Summary

A table summarizing the inventoried acreage by crop type and irrigation system was compiled for Gadsden County, Florida. The irrigated acreage totals were derived from analyses of satellite and aerial imagery. Crop types and irrigation system types were verified during field trips that started in May 2021 and concluded in August 2021. In addition, the table provides acreage totals by crop type reported by the U.S. Department of Commerce for 1982, the U.S. Department of Agriculture from 1987 through 2017, and Florida Statewide Agricultural Irrigation Demand for 2018-19.

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 Gadsden 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 - Caribbean-Florida Water Science Center (USGS - CFWSC) 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 the State of Florida.
