Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rainfall, Water Supply, Waterways of the United States When water is made to flow through a layer of sodium permutit, the latter exchanges its soda for the calcium and magnesium salts of the water and the degree of hardness in the latter is reduced to zero. The permutit has to be regenerated as it grows lax in action. This is easily accomplished by washing it for a few hours with a solution of common salt. Man ganese permutit in connection with marble dust removes all iron and acids from waters thus affected. The practice of softening the entire water supply of a municipality has grown steadily and in not a few large manufacturing cities the municipal softening plant is saving the citi zens hundreds of thousands of tons of coal per annum and adding years of life to the community's boilers. The principal require ments are (1) mixing chambers, in which the softening chemicals are thoroughly mixed with the water; (2) capacious settling basins suffi cient to give the necessary time for the slower reactions when the temperature is low, as in winter; (3) a device for adding a coagulant (alum or ferrous sulphate) at both the en trance port and the exit port of the water into and from the settling basins, (4) substantial mechanical filters. In addition, as one of the requisites should be a special apparatus to slake the lime, reduce it to a proper emulsion and feed it in proper quantity automatically into the flowing water. At the municipal water softening plant at Cleveland, Ohio, 000 gallons of water per day require the daily application of 40 tons of quicklime. This is slaked with hot water, mixed into an emulsion in an agitator, taken to tanks where it is cooled and diluted to the proper consistency and finally pumped at a uniform rate into the flowing water.

This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water-Supply and Irrigation Papers of the United States Geological Survey, 1897 This paper by Mr. Wilson is the first of a proposed series of publica tions relating to water supply and irrigation. The object in View in undertaking a new series is to afford an opportunity for prompt publi cation of short reports, generally popular in character, relating to the water resources and the methods of utilizing these, with especial ref erence to the employment of water in agriculture. To reply to ques tions arising in various parts of the country regarding the progress of the investigation of the water resources and the facts relating to the available supply of water for irrigation, power, or domestic use, it is necessary to have pamphlets which can be sent out freely, and which, in order to answer the particular needs of individuals or communities, will not be too general in character. The series of bulletins issued by the Survey would serve as such means of communication were it not for the fact that by law these must be sold, and thus can not be used for ofiicial purposes or for placing the information acquired by investiga tion at once in the hands of the persons seeking to know the facts. By the law authorizing this new series it is possible for the Survey to dis tribute these papers to correspondents and to the numerous volunteer assistants who at one time or another have kindly aided by replying to letters of inquiry or schedules asking for specific data. Without such opportunities for distribution of small publications the officers of the Survey are placed in an embarrassing position, from the fact that they are compelled to ask favors in the way of statements and data of various kinds and are yet unable in general to more than thank the persons who have freely given their time to the preparation of letters and the filling out of blanks. Even when these persons have asked for a copy of the publication embodying the information which they have furnished, it has not been possible for a bulletin to be sent unless paid for by some member of the Survey.

Download or read book Surface Water Supply of the North Pacific Coast Drainage 1906 Classic Reprint written by J. C. Stevens and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 856 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Surface Water Supply of the North Pacific Coast Drainage, 1906 Owing to the broad scope of these hydrographic investigations and the length of time they should cover in order that the records may be of greatest value, it is, in general, impossible for private individuals to collect the necessary data, and as many of the streams traverse more than one State this work does not properly fall within the province of the State authorities. The United States Geological Survey has therefore, by means of specific appropriations by Congress, for several years systematically made records of stream flow, with the view of ultimately determining all the important features governing the flow of the principal streams of the country. In carrying out this plan, stations are established on the streams and maintained for a period long enough to show their regimen or general behavior. When a rec ord that is sufficient for this purpose has been obtained for any stream the work on that stream is discontinued. The order in which the streams are measured is determined by the degree of their importance. During 1906 the regimen of flow was studied at about 700 stations distributed along the various rivers throughout the United States, as shown on pi. I. In addition to these records data 111 regard to precipitation, evaporation, water power, and river profiles were obtained in many sections of the country.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water-Supply and Irrigation Papers, 1907: Nos. 201-207 The water Supply of the United States is of more importance to the life and pursuits of the people than any other natural resource. In the arid States the limit of agricultural development is determined by the amount of water available for irrigation, while in all parts of the country the increase in the population of cities and towns makes nec emery additional water supplies for domestic and industrial uses, in procuring which both the quantity and the quality of the water that may be obtained must be considered. The location of manufacturing plants may depend largely on the water-power facilities and on the character of the water. The notable advances made in the electric transmission of power have led to the utilization of water powers for the operation of manufacturing establishments, railroads, and munici pal lighting plants, many oi which are at some distance from the places at which the power is developed.

On these watersheds snowpack is a maximum of record. Low eleva tion snowpacks here and on the lower Yellow stone River are exceptionally heavy and could create additional problems if rainfall occurs during the main snowmelt period. In Arizona total runoff for the January May period will be about 50 percent average on the Salt and Gila rivers. Reservoir stor age is above average and will offset the effect of the low streamflow.

This book was released on 2018-10-08 with total page 812 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water-Supply and Irrigation Papers of the United States Geological Survey, 1897: Irrigation Near Greeley, Colorado-Boyd In the same way that Colorado has led m improvements in legisla tion have the citizens of Greeley and vicinity been the leaders' ln Col orado. First to experience the necessities, they have been at the front in urging needed reforms, and in these they have been notably successful. Thus it is appropriate in a series of papers devoted mainly to irrigation to review at some length the conditions near Greeley, for from here have come many initiatives to a proper state of affairs. Considerable space is devoted in this paper to matter which at first sight may seem to be more peculiar to the lawyer than to the farmer, bu t, as above stated, the irrigator is called upon probably more than any other agriculturist to consider his legal environment. Although a beginning has been made, yet many years must elapse before the laws relating to irrigation, both State and national, fully recognize the necessities of the irrigator or permit such a development that the greatest good shall come to the greatest number. In a government by the people and for the people it is essential that every man become to a certain extent familiar with such defects before they can be reme died, as well as with the physical possibilities and limitations of his country.
