The arid region thus de- fined would include, in the United States, most of the country lying west of a line drawn through North Dakota and Texas, extending northwest into Canada and southward into Mexico; while in South Africa it would be found in the Kalahari Desert and in some portions of the Transvaal. The different sections of the United States comprise an Arid re- gion,^ with a rainfall of from zero to 20 inches ; a Semi-arid region from 20 to 30 inches ; and a Humid region of 30 inches a...nd upward. About two fifths of the United States is more or less arid and must be irrigated or cultivated by dry- farm methods. But as Professor Elwood Mead remarks : "If every drop of water ^ The driest and warmest State is Arizona.
