Needs better introduction[edit]

This introductory does not follow the convention of providing a summary definition in the first paragraph.

The first paragraph reads:

The National Irrigation Congress was held periodically in the Western United States beginning in 1891[1] and ending in 1916, by which time the organization had changed its name to International Irrigation Congress.[2][3] It was a "powerful pressure group."

The only part of the above which provides a "what it is" definition is "powerful pressure group", which itself is quote and not sufficiently descriptive.
