Abstract
The distance a pump must lift underground water to the surface is the most important single factor in the per acre-foot cost of irrigation pumping. Other physical factors in the cost complex—pump and well life, maintenance and repairs, changes in the water table and the total amount of water pumped per year—are influenced by the pump lift.
