This book was released on 2016-11-07 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation in the North Atlantic States Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith a report on Irrigation in the North Atlantic States, by Aug. J. Bowie, r., of the Irrigation and Drainage Investigations of this Office. This report shows that for market gardens and for meadows irrigation in humid sections has proven profitable, but it has not yet been practiced in the raising of general farm crops. The cost of securing water supplies in the East far exceeds that in the arid regions, although water is much more plentiful. This suggests that it may be possible to so reduce the cost of water as to render irrigation profitable for many crops which will not repay the expense now incurred. The descriptions of irrigation practice contained in this report should be suggestive to many who are now raising truck without the aid of irrigation, and it is therefore rec ommended that the report be published as a bulletin of this Office.

This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Small Reservoirs in Wyoming, Montana, and South Dakota Development in the arid West in recent years has proceeded with enormous strides, due almost entirely to irrigation, the water applied to the land being for the most part taken directly from running streams. However, as this development has increased, the amount of available water from streams during the normal irrigation period has decreased, until in order that development may continue it is necessary to augment the normal flow Of the streams. On many mil lions Oi acres Of this arid empire we find streams that are torrential in character, being dry for the greater part Of the year and running only at short intervals during the stormy season. TO provide additional water in the one case and to conserve it in the other, recourse must be had to storage, which is also necessary to beneficially reuse water wasted upon application to the soil.

Download or read book Irrigation Works written by Arthur Powell Davis and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation Works: Constructed by the United States Government Agriculture by irrigation is one of the oldest occupations of civilized man. Various parts of the world show evidences that irrigation was practised long before any historical record was kept. The remains of prehistoric irrigation works have been identified and extensively traced in southern Arizona along the Salt River and in parts of New Mexico and California. American Irrigation was left entirely to private and corporate. enterprise until the passage, in 1902, of the National Reclamation Act, which has been amended and modified from time to time by subsequent acts. The original reclamation act provided for the segregation of the receipts from the sales of public lands in the sixteen Western States and Territories into a special fund to be known as the Reclamation Fund and to be available for the survey, construction, and operation of reclamation projects in those States. It provided that the cost of those projects should be returned to the Reclamation Fund by the owners of private land or entry-men on public land in ten annual installments, no requirement of interest being made. A subsequent act in 1914 extended this time to twenty years. The original act required the expenditure of the major portion of the funds in the States in which it had been received. Under this act about one hundred million dollars have been expended in construction, and twenty-five projects are now in operation and prepared to deliver water to about one million five hundred thousand acres of land, about two-thirds of which was actually irrigated in 1916. The projects undertaken, unlike the early simple diversions upon valleys adjacent to the head works, involved, on the contrary, expensive storage works, high diversion dams, difficult tunnels, or long, expensive canal work upon side hills, where large investment was necessary before any water was brought to the land.

Download or read book Water Supply for Irrigation Classic Reprint written by Frederick Haynes Newell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-16 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water Supply for Irrigation The total area upon which crops were raised by irrigation was, accord in g to the results obtained by the Eleventh Census, acres, or square miles. This applies to the year ending May 31, 1890, the census being taken during the following June. Comparing this area with the total land surface west of the one hundredth meridian, it is found to be approximately only four-tenths of 1 per cent. In other words, for every acre from which crops were obtained by irrigation there were nearly 250 acres of land most of which was not utilized in any way except for pasturage. The area of the land surface of the United States west of the one hundredth meridian and between it and the Pacific ocean is square miles, not including thirty-six counties of western Oregon and Washington. Within this great extent of country are nearly all possi ble combinations of soil and climate, ranging from the smooth, almost barren, plains with scanty vegetation to the high rough mountains, the peaks covered throughout the year with snow and the s10pes clothed with thick forests. In a broad way four great classes of land may be distinguished, according to the amount of moisture received or the water supply available, as shown principally by the character of the vegetation. The following table gives approximately the amount of land embraced in each of these great classes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Irrigation for the Farm Garden and Orchard Classic Reprint written by Henry Stewart and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-11 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation for the Farm, Garden, and Orchard The profits which are derived from work and enter prise, depend, not so much upon the extent of these, as upon the effectiveness of the methods employed to make them productive. Five acres, or ten, well cultivated, and supplied with abundant water, will yield, in the course of ten years, as much profit as fifty, or a hundred acres, equally well cultivated, but without any provision for the necessary moisture. Many years of observation, and renewed experiences, during the past eight years, have shown that at least one year in three, there is a deficiency of water for the production of full crops, and the crops of the greatest value suffer the most in such seasons. It is scarcely necessary to do more than to call attention to these facts, leaving to the good sense and' the enterprise of American farmers, the adoption of the requisite methods of evading from drouth losses, and the securing of a more satisfactory remuneration for their labor, by the use of the surplus water on their farms, both flowing upon the surface or below it, in such ways as are pointed out in the following pages.

This book was released on 2018-03-17 with total page 690 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water Rights Laws in the Nineteen Western States This three-volume work on the water rights laws in the 19 Western States is a comprehensive sequel to the 1942 single-volume publication authored by Wells A. Hutchins entitled Selected Problems in the Law of Water Rights in the West. That book was extensively used and the supply was soon exhausted. In the 1950's, he initiated the research needed to prepare the manuscript for this multivolume work. Since the appearance of the 1942 book, there has been a great amount of additional legislation and court decisions and two new Western States had to be considered. Moreover, the present, much more extensive, work treats more facets of the subject and discusses a number of items in greater detail. Rights to the use of water from various surface and underground sources often are of crucial importance in the Western States. The 19 States to which this study relates include the 17 contiguous Western States plus Alaska and Hawaii. The 17 contiguous States comprise the six extending from North Dakota to Texas, the three bordering the Pacific Ocean, and the intervening eight States.

Download or read book Irrigation in the Valley of Lost River Idaho Classic Reprint written by Albert Eugene Wright and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-03 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation in the Valley of Lost River, Idaho The distribution of water among the 37 ditches below the Narrows formed the principal part of the water master's work. The use of water from Lost River and Warm Spring Creek above the Narrows was not restricted at all till August 17, because the irrigation of hay bottoms had ceased before low water and because the benefit of such regulation to the ranchers below seemed very doubtful. Antelope Creek waters nearly acres of wild hay meadows and less than 300 acres of other crops, so that no regulation whatever of the use of Water from that stream was needed. The diversions from other creeks and springs were regulated in part, but since their flow in every case failed to reach the river, the regulation was not enforced, and it is very doubtful if the decree can be enforced against them in the future.
