Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ground Water in Big Smoky Valley, Nevada The demand for farm homes is so great and will continue to be so great that strenuous efforts will be made to utilize by irrigation every existing water supply. The ground waters underlying the Nevada deserts will certainly receive more attention in the future than they have in the past, and costly projects for their recovery will be under taken. Some of these projects will no doubt fail, but others will eventually be successful. SO great is the eagerness for land that the report Of a Single flowing well or the skillful advertisements of a promoter may at any time start a stream Of home seekers, ignorant Of the actual conditions and difficulties, into almost any Of the desert valleys Of the West. It is very desirable that the possibilities of these valleys should be thoroughly investigated before they are invaded by home seekers. The helplessness Of the ordinary settler when he confronts the unfa miliar and inherently difficult problems Of irrigation with ground waters is illustrated in Big Smoky Valley as well as in other areas. In the south basin Of this valley (see fig. 17) there have been a few attempts at irrigation with ground water, but they were made either so far up the slopes that the high lift rendered the cost prohibitive or else in the alkali area where agriculture is not feasible; none appar ently have been made in the zone in which the ground-water conditions are the most favorable.
