The Newlands Irrigation Project was the first Federal desert reclamation project in the United States (1906) and features the Truckee Canal, which facilitates an
interbasin transfer of Truckee River surface flows away from the natural terminus at Pyramid Lake (487 [km.sup.2]).
''We are trying to prick the conscience of the developed countries that have the resources and the technology to quickly execute the
interbasin transfer from Congo Basin to Chad Basin.'
This includes a globally unmatched interriver and
interbasin water-transfer infrastructure with the capacity to move over 10 billion cubic meters through 16,000 kilometers of canals.
For example, management of the basin in the Upper Republican Natural Resources District in Nebraska requires surveys of aquifer levels, water flows and
interbasin transfers and conserving wildlife habitats across streams, reservoirs and wetlands.
For the Haihe Plain, Chen and Xie investigated the climatic effects of large-scale irrigation due to
interbasin water transfer and demonstrated that such irrigation causes increased local precipitation and decreased temperature at the land surface [25].
Some subjects addressed in these sections include
Interbasin Water Transfer, European nature conservation law, and public participation in land management law in the Basque country.
Professor Gary Libecap has critiqued the rule for impeding economically efficient
interbasin transfers and frustrating the development of water markets.
