Irrigation water management applied. <br />34 Fiscal Year 2003 Performance Report <br />Indicator: Conservation systems <br />applied to address water supply con- <br />cerns: <br />Target: 6,133,000 acres <br />Actual: 8,986,000 acres <br />Analysis: The target was exceeded by <br />nearly 50 percent. Nearly 60 percent of <br />the result was accomplished by farmers <br />and ranchers in the Northern Plains and <br />South Central Regions. Acres reported in <br />Montana and Nebraska amounted to 14 <br />percent of the national total. <br />Indicator: Water supply forecasts <br />issued: <br />Target: 11,427 forecasts <br />Actual: 11,427 forecasts <br />Analysis: The target was met. <br />Indicator: Irrigated cropland where irri- <br />gation water management was <br />improved: <br />Target: 1,482,000 acres <br />Actual: 1,864,000 acres <br />Analysis: The target was exceeded by <br />26 percent. Lingering drought in some <br />key areas has prompted producers to <br />improve their irrigation efficiency. Texas, <br />Arkansas, Colorado, Nebraska and <br />Missouri figured significantly in the <br />demand for improved irrigation. <br />Source: NRCS, Performance and <br />Results Measurement System, <br />October 2003. <br />
