We have a niece who has always loved and cared for animals and is probably more comfortable with them than with people — new people, anyway, which I sort of get. My in-laws’ house backs up on the irrigated churchyard, and one Sunday she ran in with a margarine tub of water and — leeches. Thrilled, she was. (I was a little, too.) I used to brag on how no matter where we took this girl, she would rustle up the fauna.

My kids caught a fish in our irrigation. They put it in a bucket and took it back to the canals.
They also float on rafts in it and play a really gross version of tackle football. I just tell them not to open their mouths and drink any of that nasty water.

Oh…the memories! The bugs! The crawdads! But mostly those really weird irrigation people from the Deliverance movie that came to turn it on.

we have flood irrigation — thanks to the hohokam indians, who built canals all over what is now the city. huge waste of water, but a wonderful luxury…..

I spent a good chunk of my childhood in an older Tempe neighborhood … my brother and I *loved* irrigation days. He’d wash his purple trike and we’d get out our kickboards and “float” on the lawn … ha ha.
