National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS)
Title: California Irrigation Survey--July 2022.
OMB Control Number: 0535-0264.
Summary of Collection: The primary objectives of the National
Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) are to prepare and issue
official State and national estimates of crop and livestock production,
disposition and prices, economic statistics, and environmental
statistics related to agriculture and to conduct the Census of
Agriculture and its follow-on surveys. NASS will conduct a survey of
operations with field crops, fruits, nuts, berries, vegetables and
horticulture commodities.
Selected operators in California will be asked to provide data on
irrigation water source, irrigation water management, as well as
irrigation method (acres and irrigation source) for crops.
General authority for these data collection activities is granted
under U.S.C. Title 7, Section 2204. This survey will be conducted on a
full cost recovery basis with the California Department of Water

public on water issues, (2) Planning for future water needs, climate
change impacts, and flood protection, (3) Constructing and maintaining
facilities, (4) Ensuring public safety, and (5) Providing recreational
opportunities.
The information collected from this and previous surveys (1991,
2001, 2010, and 2017) will be widely used to meet the responsibilities
of DRW, plan for future energy needs, and to help water districts with
long-term planning.
