Yakama Nation Irrigation Demonstration Project

Aspect completed a plan and facilitated a tribal workgroup to develop options and select a preferred option to irrigate lands for crop production on the south slope of Ahtanum Ridge for the Yakama Nation. The plan identifies the irrigable acreage within the project area, provides design and construction costs for new or upgraded existing surface delivery methods, determines suitable crops for the area and the associated water requirements, and applies sound principles of economics to analyze project feasibility.
