Flood-water farming

Geographical review • 19 • Published In 1929 • Pages: 444-456

By: Bryan, Kirk.

Abstract

This paper considers the geographical relationships of the practice of floodwater and the decline in acreage in relation to recent changes in stream channels. However, it is of particular interest to the ethnographer since flood-water farming was one of the important sources of livelihood of the prehistoric sedentary Indians of Arizona and New Mexico and is still being carried on to a lesser extent in the area today. The author is a well-known geologist.
