With the increase in use of available water by domestic and industrial consumers, the competition for available water supplies will become more critical in the future (49, Before purchasing an irrigation system farmers must determine if available water sources are sufficient to meet their irrigation requirements at the time water is needed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation Works: Constructed by the United States Government As a modern activity of the Caucasian race, irrigation in the United States on any considerable scale seems to have had its beginning in Utah in the settlement of the Salt Lake Valley. The early settlements of California, New Mexico, and other arid States extended the practice of the early Spaniards and the Indians, and irrigation developed along with the slow settlement of these then remote regions. During the early history of irrigation farmers and groups of farmers naturally confined their efforts mainly to diverting small streams upon adjacent valleys where the slope of the country and the topography were such as to make the work easy and cheap. With the values of land then existing no expensive enter prise was practicable. Such development proceeding for nearly half a century, widely distributed over the arid region, irrigated in the aggregate a very large area of land. The farmers em ployed the cheapest class of construction and seldom counted their own time in computing costs, which are hence reported very low.

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 2017-12-13 with total page 1028 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water-Supply and Irrigation Papers Nos. 71-77, 1902-1903 The practice of irrigation in Texas is Of considerable antiquity, especially in the western end of the State, along the Rio Grande, where the early Spanish conquerors established settlements, and their descendants, the Mexicans, have maintained possession of the soil for centuries. At San Antonio are ditches whose origin is lost in local tradition, having probably been built to carry water to the grounds surrounding the missions. It is only in comparatively recent years, however, that particular attention has been drawn to the matter, and the importance of the development Of the State through irrigation has been appreciated by the public. Already agriculture by means of an artificial supply of water is being practiced in nearly every portion of the State, the greatest increase in acreage being in the rice-growing districts in the southeastern quarter. The figures obtained at the Eleventh Census (1889) and Twelfth Census (1899) illustrate the rapid increase in acreage and the wide extent to which irrigation is now employed. For most of the land water is obtained by gravity systems of ditches that is to say, by means of channels through which the water flows from some source at a higher elevation. In many places, however, it is impos sible to bring water to the surface Of the ground in this way, and it must be lifted or pumped by some mechanical device. For this pur pose windmills are most commonly used. West of the one-hundredth meridian north of San Antonio the cattle country of Texas stretches almost unbroken for from 200 to 500 miles. To supply water for the ranches which do not border on or include a flowing stream the wind mill has become a most potent factor. In addition, a few localities, like oases, have everlasting springs that rise with surprising sudden. Ness either from the foothills or from the baked prairies. These are in nearly all cases utilized to convert the otherwise unproductive soil into crop-bearing farms. While the Old Mexican methods of irriga tion are still in use in many localities, with their consequent waste of water, they have been accompanied by few disappointments or heart burnings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation in the Rocky Mountain States If he is a practical farmer he has been accustomed to consider the fertility of the soil, its drainage, the proximity to market, and the social advantages of a community the leading factors in making a location desirable but when he casts his lot in an irrigated district he finds that all the unirrigated land looks alike and all apparently worthless. He frequently finds that lands conveniently located, close to market, and with a contour and slope suited to irrigation, are yet unoccupied and for sale at small price. If he seeks for the cause from a disinterested source he will probably learn that it is lack of a water right - that other lands absorbed the stream before ditches to water the land in question were built, and that when streams run low no water is left for its use. If he is not so informed at the outset, he may learn of this through unhappy experience. The significance of a water right, and the importance of having both an adequate supply and adequate provision for its just distribution, are matters which the home seeker is most apt to overlook, as they were the last things to be properly appreciated by the early settlers.

The exhibits, comprising those of a large num ber of States and of the Federal Government, were worthy of the occasion and fully up to the stand ard of the best expositions ever held in the country. That it was fully appreciated was evidenced by the large attendance and the results otherwise to such a degree that the Farm Congress has felt justified in pledging itself to holding similar expositions annually.

Download or read book Water Supply and Irrigation Papers written by Geological Survey and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 868 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water-Supply and Irrigation Papers: Of the United States Geological Survey, 1896 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 afi'ord 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 oflicers 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.
