Book excerpt: Excerpt from Operations at River Stations, 1899, Vol. 5: A Report of the Division of Hydrography of the United States Geological Survey This river issues from the southern extremity of the Sierra Nevada, being formed by the junction of the North Fork and the South Fork a short distance below Kernville. The run-off from this basin is notably less than from the northern tributaries of San Joaquin River, which may be due to the fact that a portion of the basin is located-east of the main crest of the mountains and is therefore protected from the water-bearing clouds. Most of the water of Kern River is used forirrigation by the large canals in the southern end of San Joaquin Valley. The winter waters are in part stored in Buena Vista Lake, which was a number of years ago converted into a storage reservoir. The station was established in 1893 by mr. Walter James, chief engineer of the Kern County Land Company, _a'nd is located at what is known as the first point of measurement, 5 miles above Bakers field and at the mouth of the canyon of the river. Meter measure ments are taken once a week, and an automatic gage records the fluctuations of the river heights. Mr. A. K. Warren, the engineer in charge of this work for the Kern County Land Company, attends to the measurements with much accuracy and precision, and furnishes this office with the final results. The results of measurements may be found as follows: 1896, Eighteenth Annual Report, Part IV, page 297; 1897, Nineteenth Annual Report, Part IV, page 523; 1898, Twentieth Annual Report, Part IV, page 536. Daily discharge, in second-feet, of Kern River at first point of measurement, California. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Operations at River Stations, 1899, Vol. 4: A Report of the Division of Hydrography of the United States Geological Survey This river is the last important tributary of Grand River. It has its source in the La Plata and San Miguel mountains, in which the highest peak, Mount Wilson, attains an elevation of feet. Its course is in a general northwesterly direction. Crossing into Utah it shortly joins Grand River. In the Vicinity of Dolores considerable irrigation is practiced, both from small ditches and from one or two large systems. The main canal of the Montezuma Valley irrigation system diverts water from the left bank of the river a short distance below the gaging station, and after crossing the divide between the Dolores and San J uau drainage irrigates land in the vicinity Of Cortez. A lower lateral of this system serves land to the northwest of Dolores. The gaging station is located. One-half mile above the railroad station at Dolores, Colorado. The gage rod consists of a vertical plank bolted to the abutment of a footbridge on the left side of the river. The bench mark consists of a nail driven into the base of a cottonwood tree 18 feet southwesterly from the gage, and is feet above gage datum. The right bank is low and the left bank high; the water moves with a good velocity; the bed of the stream is composed of small stones and gravel. Dolores River at Rico, Colorado, was measured three times during the year: April 19 the discharge was 168 second feet; September 22, 23 second-feet, and November 22, 16 second-feet. Results of measurements at this station may be found as follows 1896, Eighteenth Annual Report, Part IV, page 263; 1897, Nineteenth Annual Report, Part IV, page 408; 1898, Twentieth Annual Report, Part IV, page 393. The following discharge measurements were made by A. L. Fellows during 1899: April 20, gage height, feet; discharge, 613 second-feet. May 17, gage height, feet; discharge, 963 second-feet. June 22, gage height, feet; discharge, 307 second-feet. November 22, gage height, feet; discharge, 56 second-feet.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Operations at River Stations, 1900, Vol. 6: A Report of the Division of Hydrography of the United States Geological Survey The strainer is made of a piece of 3 inch pipe from 2 feet to 4 feet long (depend ing upon the fineness of the sand bearing stratum), perforated with 95-inch holes spaced from 1 inch to 173, inches between centers. N o. 12 B. W. G. Wire is wound spirally over the perforated section (the Spirals being Spaced about 1 inch apart), which then is covered with a sheet of thin brass punched full of holes about inch in diameter. The punch was specially designed for this work. It has 24 points (four rows of six in a row), and one blow of the hammer is sufficient, the sheet being placed on a wood block. The punch makes either a cone or pyram idal truncated indenture through the sheet, which, when wrapped and soldered around the perforated pipe, gives a first-class strainer. The diameter of the holes punched in the brass sheet is reduced, of course, with the fineness of the water bearing material. The holes presented to the water-bearing sand are very small, and since they increase in diameter toward the pipe, any material fine enough to enter does so without obstructing the Opening. We use a 2-inch pipe extending from the strainer to the top of the ground. As each well is completed a No. 6 Douglas hand pump is connected to the top, and it is thoroughly pumped, to free it from clayey matter and fine sand. For merly we tested each well with a gasoline-actuated centrifugal pump, and left the bottom of the strainer pipe Open. We have found it desirable, however, to plug the bottom of the strainer before putting it into the well, which of course decreases its capacity somewhat, but is imperative in quicksand formations. These wells yield 8 or 10 miners' inches each. We are obtaining remarkably satisfactory results from horizontal centrifugal pumps, either single or compound, actuated by gasoline engines. I have just completed a plant, the supply of which is from a small gang of wells, which is operated by a No. 3 horizontal compound centrifugal pump actuated by a 22-horsepower gasoline engine, the water being discharged into the Sweetwater distributing system against 60 pounds pressure. When last measured the plant was developing a fraction more than 29 miner's inches. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
