The ''Irrigation Record'' was a fortnightly newspaper published in Leeton, New South Wales, Australia from 15 February 1913 to 15 June 1917 by the NSW Water Conservation and Irrigation Commission.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://library.sl.nsw.gov.au/record=b3959982~S2 )〕 Its purpose was to educate new settlers of the fledgling Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area (MIA), about agricultural methods, irrigation techniques, crops, stock and machinery.
== History ==
Leeton was the first town to be planned under the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area scheme.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.leeton.nsw.gov.au/about/history/history.htm )〕 The ''Irrigation Record'' commenced publication in 1913 and its stated aim was to educate the local residents about irrigation and farming.〔
Articles covered developments in the area such as the establishment of the town including churches, schools, police stations and the agricultural industry. The editor of the ''Irrigation Record'' was Mr J G (John Gibson) Youll, later a Councillor of the Shire of Wade. Feature articles by Walter Burley Griffin about the planning of Leeton and Griffith were published in May and June 1915.
The last issue of the ''Irrigation Record'' was published on 15 June 1917. The economic constraints of World War I were cited in the penultimate edition as one reason for its closure, along with the belief that the journal had served its purpose to educate new settlers.
