Content DescriptionReturn to Top
This collection contains reports and articles related to Bruce Anderson’s professional interests in water management, irrigation, and the development of agricultural techniques in developing countries. It is divided into three main categories: Academic Notes, Reports and Proposals; International Development Symposia; and Studies, Reports and Maps.
Academic Notes, Reports Proposals and Councils deals with academic publications and proposals in the field of agriculture and water management. This section begins with Anderson’s own notes from when he was studying irrigation engineering. Next, the International Development Symposia focuses on files and reports by associations striving to help foreign countries develop more effective agriculture. The final part of this section is a series of academic articles and a dissertation alphabetized by the last name of the author. Finally, the Studies, Reports, and Maps section contains files, publications, reports, and Anderson’s personal notes organized by the region that they deal with. The bulk of these are about agricultural development projects in Iran however there are also reports from Bolivia, Ecuador, Egypt, Pakistan, and Peru. Many notes and project outlines are related to the Consortium for International Development, an international development organization at Utah State University that Anderson worked for.
