This book was released on 2018-03-17 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation Practice and Engineering, Vol. 2 The preparation of these two volumes results in part from the development of a course in Irrigation engineering presented at the University of California. It is based on an acquaintance with a large number of irrigation systems, located in most of the States of the western part of the United States and in western Canada, Obtained through many Opportunities for examination of these projects and through connection with a number of them. The writer has not confined himself to his own experience and observations, but has discussed the principles of irrigation engineering presented in this work with a number of successful engineers, who have had much experience in the construction and Operation of irrigation systems. He has also availed himself not only of contemporary literature pertaining to American Irrigation engineering, but has consulted a large collection of foreign publications, mostly from India, Egypt, Spain and France. While there is still considerable difference of Opinion among engineers regarding some of the principles of design of irrigation works, it is believed that the Opinions and principles presented are in accordance with correct theory and good practice as demonstrated by careful observation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Irrigation Engineering The need of a comprehensive treatise on irrigation has been so frequently brought to my attention during the last few years, that I have undertaken to write this book with the hope that it may help those who are engaged in the study or practice of irrigation engineering.

Download or read book Irrigation written by Hanbury Brown and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-06-25 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation: Its Principles and Practice as a Branch of Engineering Irrigation is a subject which covers much ground, and cannot be confined within the narrow boundaries of a single volume. But the principles on which Irrigation Engineering is based can be collected in small compass, and be illustrated by examples of actual practice to the extent that space allows. What, therefore, this work attempts to do is to set forth the guiding principles that should govern the practice of irrigation, and to furnish illustrations of their application in existing canal systems. The majority of the illustrations have been selected from the wealth of material that the irrigation experience of India and Egypt supplies, for the following reasons. In the first place, I have been personally connected with irrigation in both countries, and can therefore handle the facts, relating to them, as one having authority on the subject, and not as the scribes, Whose methods I might be imitating were I to draw my illustrations from the records of other countries. In the second place, it is India that furnishes examples of irrigation on the largest scale, and that has been the school in which all British irrigation engineers, previously to England's occupa tion of Egypt, have undergone their training. Moreover, the excellent standard work on the subject, The Irrigation Works of India, by R. B. Buckley, provides in a convenient form more than enough material for copious illustrations, and I have made much use of it, with Mr. Buckley's kind permission. But it will be found that Egypt has been the favourite source of my borrowing. There are two good (so it appears to me) reasons for this. The first is that I am intimately acquainted with Egypt as an irrigating country. The second is that Egypt is par excellence the country of irrigation, as it is wholly depen dent for its existence on its mother, the Nile, from which it has never been weaned.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation Engineering The first edition of Irrigation Engineering, was a pioneer in its field, and quickly took its place as the recognized stand ard therein, as indicated by its passage through six successive editions. At the date of the first edition and in fact, some time later, the large irrigation works of engineering interest were mostly in India and Egypt. Mr. Wilson's familiarity with those works, based largely on personal contact with them and their builders and operators, gave the early editions Of his work a special value as contributions to western knowledge of this subject.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of Irrigation Practice Irrigation and dry-farming are rapidly conquering drought. By these twin arts, bountiful and regular harvests may be gathered in the humid regions during the periodic dry seasons; and in the arid regions, the great deserts may be converted into most fruitful fields. Irrigation has a splendid record of success from the begin ning of history; dry-farming has only in recent days extended its conquests into the more arid regions; both have become more powerful in conquering drought as modern science has been applied to them.

Where the surface is not so rough and the hauls are short, a tool which is commonly used is known as the Buck Scraper, Fig. 18. It is best suited to sandy soils and is used extensively in the Yakima Valley of Eastern Washington and in Eastern Oregon. It consists of a scraper board 10 to 16 feet long, and 2 feet wide, made of 2 inch plank, shod along one edge with a steel plate, and a tailboard or footboard with the necessary lever handle and connections to regulate the angle of the scraper board and to hold it in position. The smaller size requires four horses and the larger six horses. For land where the irregularities consist of knolls or hummocks fairly uniform in size, not too large, and distributed rather uniformly so that the scraped off material must not be carried far, an implement used with much success in the Imperial Valley of Southern California is the Rectangular Scraper or leveller, Fig. 19.

The sides of the frame are made of 4 to 12-inch timbers 30 feet long, placed on edge.
