Description

Argentina formed the National Committee on Agricultural Irrigation on 19 June 1936. The committee coordinated large-scale irrigation projects across arid regions. Engineers studied river basins and developed canal and reservoir plans. Their work supported agricultural expansion in provinces such as Mendoza and San Juan. Findings improved long-term water management and crop productivity. The committee collaborated with farmers and technical schools. Its founding marked a key step in national irrigation strategy.
