Data for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands are aggregated by 6-digit hydrologic unit. Irrigation data are only collected from cropland and pastureland. NRI maps reflect national patterns rather than site- specific information. Noncultivated cropland includes permanent hayland and horticultural cropland. Land that shows evidence of being irrigated during the year of the inventory or during two or more years out of the last four years.
Water is supplied to crops by ditches, pipes, or other conduits.
Pastureland may consist of a single species in a pure stand, a grass mixture or a grass-legume mixture. Management usually consists of cultural treatments-fertilization, weed control, reseeding, or renovation and control of grazing. Please include the Product ID you are inquiring about.
