needed for irrigation and cultivation.
    (2) Cultivation requires the operation, practice, or act of tillage 
or preparation of land for seed, and keeping the ground in a state 
favorable for the growth of crops.
    (3) Irrigation requires the application of water to land for the 
purpose of growing crops.
    (4) Crop includes any agricultural product to which the land under 
consideration is generally adapted and which would return a fair reward 
for the expense of producing it.

successfully and to reclaim all of the irrigable land embraced in an 
entry.
    (6) Water right means the authority, whether by prior ownership,
