Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on the Climate of Colorado and Utah, With Particular Reference to Questions of Irrigation and Water Storage in the Arid Region, 1891 In this connection it seems also important to consider the absolute humidity conditions over the arid region, that is, the actual quantity of aqueous vapor contained in each cubic foot of air at or near the surface of the earth. On charts Nos. 2 and 3 are shown typical curves with reference to the absolute humidity of the air, which is expressed in the number of grains of water in each cubic foot of air. In preparing these charts it has been necessary to ignore State lines, as the distribution of moisture and damp air depends so very largely not only on the contiguity to the ocean, but also on the direction of the prevailing winds and the character of the intervening country over which the wind must pass from the source of water supply. Consequently these typical curves have been drawn for the Pacific coast region, the interior of California, and for Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona. The important bearing which the prevalence of moisture or dry air has upon growing vegetation is well known, but further than this it has an equally important bearing upon the methods of irrigation, since the drier the air the greater the quantity of stored or flowing water which will be evaporated thereby. As will be noted by reference to these charts, the greatest quantity of water is not found in the same month over all parts of the arid region. In addition to the charts, it appears advisable to make some general statements as to the prevalence of moisture or dry air over the regions under consideration. It is impracticable to draw for general conclusions any hard and fast line as to what constitutes very dry or very wet air, as this question turns on the normal temperatures, which in turn depend materially on the lati tude, the elevation, and the locality with reference to great bodies of water.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation Statistics of the Territory of Utah, With Matters Relative Thereto: Compiled and Prepared for the Irrigation Congress, to Be Held at Salt Lake City, Utah, September 15, 16, 17, 1891 As now ascertained the average first cost of water right in Utah, per acre, is noticeably great, being largely due to the manner in which the ditches and canals are made. Nearly all are laid out and constructed by farmers of ordinary education, without the use of surveying instruments. As a consequence, few of the more important works laid out in this manner have proved serviceable without great changes, involving in many instances the reconstruction of almost the entire system. The perseverance shown in many of these cases is remarkable. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forests and Snow The intimate connection between the melting snow banks of the mountains and the agricultural prosperity of Colorado is too evident to those acquainted with the conditions of the State to need discussion, for most of the water which carries fertility to the fields and farms comes from the white-capped mountains; but even among those most interested in the agriculture of the State there have been some who have had a question as to the extent to which the forests were useful. Some have even advocated their destruction, under the supposition that the water supply would be increased. While it is not thought by the writer that the forests materially affect the rainfall in our Colorado mountains, their influence as a pro teeting cover for the snow and in saving it from premature melting and the effect of winds, which increase the evaporation, is an important function. Without intending to enter upon a discussion of the question at this time, this bulletin is more especially intended to bring out some of the relations of the forests to our water supply, which have become evident in our study of one of the typical irrigation streams, and also to present some of them pictorially, in such form as to help the reader draw conclusions for himself.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Federal-State Cooperative Snow Surveys and Irrigation Water Forecasts for Colorado River Drainage Basin as of May 1, 1953 The soil was dry under the snow at the beginning of the snow accumulation season. This will reduce the flow of streams to less than indicated by currenk snow cover. No material permanent snow occurred until mid November which was a month or six weeks later than average. Increase in snow sever during February and March was much below average. Precipitation at lower elevations has been deficient during the fall and winter months.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Federal-State Cooperative Snow Surveys and Irrigation Water Forecasts: For Colorado River Basin, March 1, 1953 Gunnison River: Snow accumulation to date on the watershed of the Gunnison River is somewhat less than for the Upper Colorado, at 75 Percent of normal. Summer stream flow will probably not exceed that indicated.by present snow measurements. Even if the rate of snow accumulation is normal or above for the remainder of the season runoff will be materially reduced by dry moun tain soils. Soil moisture conditions are reported as fair to good in the Gunnison and Montrose districts, probably due to snow-melt at valley eleva tions. Stream flow is slightly above normal. Storage in Taylor Park reser voir is now 6h,000 acre-feet as compared to on March 1, 1952. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
