Farmers Response •Traditionally, the farmers had two agricultural cycles (one in the winter and one in the summer) reaching a maximum irrigated area of 360,000 hectares. Nowadays, they only irrigate one cycle. •The Yaqui Valley increased the number of pumping wells to increase their water extractions. Water rights increased from 450 MCM/year to 600 MCM/year. •Several infrastructure upgrades went into effect, trying to improve the water distribution system.
Farmers Response •Several proposals were petitioned to organizations like the World Bank, with the objective of obtaining funding to line the distribution canals. •A set of “sustainable rules” were created to achieve sustainable water use within the basin (Minjares, 2004). •Partial conversion of the Yaqui Valley to less intensive water use crops.
