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 owing 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geology and Water Resources of Big Smoky, Clayton, and Alkali Spring Valleys, Nevada The principal base of supplies for this region before the railroad was built was Sacramento, Cal., situated on the navigable Sacramento River, about 350 miles from Austin. The very high freight rates made the cost of supplies excessive, and consequently only ore with high values could be profitably mined. Bancroft2 gives the following information on freight and passenger rates and on the cost of living. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ground Water in Southeastern Nevada The area covered by this report lies in southeastern Nevada and comprises about 17,000 square miles, of which about 6,000 square miles is in Clark County, 8,500 in Lincoln County, 300 in White Pine County, and 2,000 in Nye County. (See fig. 1.) The area thus covered is about the size of Massachusetts and New Hampshire combined. The San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad, commonly known as the Salt Lake route, crosses the eastern and southern parts of the area, passing through Caliente, Moapa, and Las Vegas. Two branch roads connect with the main line, one extending from Pioche to Caliente and another from Moapa to St. Thomas. The Las Vegas & Tonopah Railroad, which is subsidiary to the Salt Lake route, extends from Las Vegas northwestward to Goldfield. Purpose Of Investigation. The agricultural development of an arid region, such as is covered by this report, is dependent on the water supply available for irrigation and for domestic use. Large areas of good soil lie idle for want of water to make them productive, and most of the water that falls as rain or snow is dissipated and produces very little vegetation that is of economic value. A large amount of water percolates through the ground to the streams or valley floors, from which most of it is removed by evaporation. In some places this water can be intercepted in its course through the ground and used for domestic purposes, for watering live stock, or for irrigation. The need of more watering places on the range has long been felt, and recently the demand for information in regard to available supplies of ground water in Nevada has been increased by the agricultural, mining, and industrial development of the State.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ground Water in Quincy Valley, Washington For many-years stockmen along Crab Creek have used the water from the stream to irrigate wild grass on the adjacent bottom lands, but within the last few years water has been pumped for irrigation in certain parts of the valley. Near Moses Lake some tracts are irrigated with water pumped from the lake but in Other parts of the basin the water is pumped from wells. Most of the irrigated lands are in' apple orchard, but a great variety of other crops, in? Cluding alfalfa, corn, melons, vegetables, and small fruits, are raised by irrigation for home consumption and for the local market.

This book was released on 2018-01-07 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hydrogeology of the Devil's Hole Area, Ash Meadows, Nevada The ground-water discharging from the major springs in Ash Meadows and the water level of the pool in Devil's Hole is an inherent part of a regional carbonate ground-water flow system. Ground-water movement and the location of the major Springs is controlled in part by major faults. Water from the carbonate aquifer recharges most if not all of the over lying alluvial aquifers. Large scale ground-water withdrawal by pumping from wells was initiated by Spring Meadows, Inc. In the spring of 1969. These wells draw water from the alluvial aquifers, which are highly transmissive in the Devil's Hole area. It is possible that some wells may penetrate the carbonate rock and may draw water directly from it. The relationship of the time of maximum pumping to the periods of water-level decline in Devil's Hole shows a high degree of correlation Continued heavy ground-water withdrawal by pumping will cause a continued decline in pool level in Devil's Hole and a reduction of discharge from the major springs in the Ash Meadows area. A hydrologic alternative for irrigation is to utilize the natural spring discharge in conjunction with surface storage facilities. It is estimated that the annual acre-feet discharge from springs will irrigate somewhat more than acres of land. Additional ground-water development by pumping may be possible without materially interfering with the pool level of Devil's Hole or natural spring discharge, but this effect should be determined by additional hydrologic study. A hydrologic monitoring system and a series of pumping tests should be initiated immediately to determine the discharge from each of the major springs and pumping centers and to de termine aquifer characteristics. These data could be utilized to make predictive mathematical models of the local hydrologic system which would form the basis of a water management system for the Ash Meadows area.

Since 1945, extractions have exceeded recharge and resulted in a reduction of ground water in storage, cessation of subsurface outflow to the Niles Cone, and degradation of water quality in portions of the Livermore Valley ground water basin.
