We don't have your list, but irrigation didn't contribute to the dust bowl.

Drought and over farming
The severe dust storms during the Dust Bowl era led to crop failures, soil erosion, and a decline in agricultural productivity. This resulted in widespread unemployment, food scarcity, and a decrease in farm incomes. The economic problems were exacerbated by the forced migration of farmers and the increased reliance on government aid programs.

No the dust bowl was not shaped like a bowl.
Several factors did not contribute to the Dust Bowl conditions in the Plains states, including the lack of significant changes in regional climate patterns and the presence of certain farming practices that promoted soil conservation. For instance, traditional crop rotation and the use of cover crops could have mitigated soil degradation. Additionally, the area's natural vegetation helped to stabilize the soil and reduce erosion. Ultimately, the primary contributors to the Dust Bowl were extreme drought and poor agricultural practices, rather than the absence of these alternative methods.
Because the dust bowl is the SOURCE of the dust raised by a dust storm.
The book about the dust bowl is called Out Of The Dust.
