Excerpt from Ground Water Resources of the Southern San Joaquin Valley Most of the Southern San Joaquin Vallev is underlaid by ground water within depths which make pumping profitable. The data assembled for this report shows that of the total area of acres irrigated in this area, acres secure all or part of their water supply by pumping from wells. For about acres the entire irrigation supply is secured from wells, for the remaining acres the pumping supplements supplies secured from canals. The Southern San Joaquin Valley represents one of the most highly developed agricultural sections in the state. The area irrigated is over one-fourth of the total for the state. The value of the agricultural products is probably an even larger proportion of the total value of irrigated crops. All classes of irrigation practice are represented, varying from citrus, vineyards, deciduous orchards, melons, lettuce, cotton and cereals to the crude ¿ooding of pasturage. Owing to the limited rainfall in the valley areas practically all agriculture depends on irrigation, dry farming being limited in extent and uncertain in results.
