Download or read book The Regulation of Rivers Classic Reprint written by J. L. van Ornum and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Regulation of Rivers A prior knowledge of such essential subjects as Surveying and Hydraulics is assumed, to the extent to which they form a part of the standard college course in Civil engineering. Consequently the scope of the discussion of such introductory features includes only those topics which the author's experience has found necessary in order to insure an adequate comprehension of the whole subject. Figures, statistics, plans and operations are not given exhaustively; but they are, instead, summarized or selected as representative types to illustrate and elucidate fundamental principles. This ordered con centration of treatment, although more diflficult to effect, should offer a better grasp and a truer perspective of the general subject than can any other arrangement. The many references in text and footnote are given not only to cite authority and to convey due acknowledgment, but also to particularly direct the attention to a paper or book of great value for desirable collateral reading on the subject under consideration. The complete reports Of the Chief of Engineers, U. S. A., naturally constitute the origin of the greater part of the available information upon the general subject of the regula tion of rivers in this country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from River Improvement Laws: In Other States and Countries Under these circumstances it is evident that a study of the reclamation and protection laws of the Nether lands must be of great value to Californians who are interested in a similar undertaking, the reclamation of the delta lands of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers, and their permanent protection from floods This study will be all the more fruitful because the Netherlands are like the Americans, jealous of their local self-government and little inclined to allow their rulers much power of interference with private rights and property. If their laws, no matter how beneficial and effective, had been imposed upon them by some despotic authority, their experience could be a guide to us in much less degree than is now possible.

Download or read book Irrigation in the Valley of Lost River Idaho Classic Reprint written by Albert Eugene Wright and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-03 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation in the Valley of Lost River, Idaho The distribution of water among the 37 ditches below the Narrows formed the principal part of the water master's work. The use of water from Lost River and Warm Spring Creek above the Narrows was not restricted at all till August 17, because the irrigation of hay bottoms had ceased before low water and because the benefit of such regulation to the ranchers below seemed very doubtful. Antelope Creek waters nearly acres of wild hay meadows and less than 300 acres of other crops, so that no regulation whatever of the use of Water from that stream was needed. The diversions from other creeks and springs were regulated in part, but since their flow in every case failed to reach the river, the regulation was not enforced, and it is very doubtful if the decree can be enforced against them in the future.

This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water Power for the Farm and Country Home In the course of its general investigations of the water powers of the State, the Water Supply Commission has here tofore confined its attention to the possibilities for large develop ments, and the regulation of the How of rivers and large creeks. No previous or general investigation of small creeks and brooks and their power possibilities has been made, not because they were considered unimportant, but because the Commission believes that if the State decides to take an active part in the regulation of the flow of streams and the development and conservation of water powers, it should confine its first activities to the larger units, leaving the smaller opportunities for later examination and for private and individual development. However, no comprehensive system of conservation can meet with universal favor unless it contemplates the prevention of waste, great or small, and wherever found.

Download or read book A Treatise on Rivers and Canals Vol 1 written by Leveson Francis Vernon-Harcourt and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Rivers and Canals, Vol. 1: Relating to the Control and Improvement of Rivers and the Design, Construction, and Development of Canals; d104 In preparing a course of lectures on 'River and Canal Engineering, ' which I was requested to deliver at the School of Military Engineering at Chatham in 1880, it appeared to me that a book might be useful which should present, in a simple and concise form, descriptions of the principal and most recent works on rivers and canals, at home and abroad, and the principles on which they are based. Within the last ten years much has been accomplished in the somewhat neglected domain of inland navigation improvement. Thus the Amsterdam Ship Canal has been completed and opened; the Panama Canal has been projected and commenced; a new outlet has been provided for the River Maas, and the navigable condition of the Delta of the Mississippi has been entirely transformed. Considerable progress has been made in the same period in the improvement works on the rivers Clyde, Tyne, and Tees. Other works also of less recent date have become sufficiently established to admit of some estimate being formed with reference to their prospects of maintenance; such as the Suez Canal, and the embankment of the estuary of the River Seine.

Download or read book Abstract of Laws for Acquiring Titles to Water from the Missouri River and Its Tributaries written by Elwood Mead and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-09 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abstract of Laws for Acquiring Titles to Water From the Missouri River and Its Tributaries: With the Legal Forms in Use The diversion of water from streams by the irrigators and ditch builders of the arid States has made it necessary to enact laws for the establishment and protection of their individual rights therein. It is essential that the farmer under irrigation look as carefully after his title to a share in the common water supply as he does after his land title. Emigrants from regions of abundant rainfall often fail to recognize the importance of doing this or are at a loss to know what is required to safeguard their interests. Because of this many suffer serious financial loss and the success and orderly administration of irrigation codes are often called in question. Bulletin No. 58 of this series contains a discussion of the water-right laws of those States drained in whole or in part by the Missouri River. It was. Prepared to aid water users in establishing their rights and to promote the agricultural development of that great region. It directs attention to the need of simpler, cheaper, and more effective methods of dis posing of the public water supplies than those which now prevail in some of those States. It is believed that a publication of the laws which that bulletin discusses and the legal forms which irrigators and other appropriators of water must use will be another and valua ble aid in removing the anxiety and uncertainty of many to whom the problems of irrigation are new and strange. Irrigation laws have to deal with many subjects besides the control and division of the public water supply. There are elaborate statutes for the regulation of canals, for the determination of the rights of carriers and users, and for the promotion of new works. From this bulletin all such laws have been excluded in the belief that by sepa rating the laws which govern water titles and public control of streams from all other irrigation legislation a clearer understanding of their scope and purpose would be secured than by a compilation of all the laws. The forms which are given are copies of those now in use and comply with existing laws. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Water Rights Laws in the Nineteen Western States Classic Reprint written by Wells A. Hutchins and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-17 with total page 688 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water Rights Laws in the Nineteen Western States This three-volume work on the water rights laws in the 19 Western States is a comprehensive sequel to the 1942 single-volume publication authored by Wells A. Hutchins entitled Selected Problems in the Law of Water Rights in the West. That book was extensively used and the supply was soon exhausted. In the 1950's, he initiated the research needed to prepare the manuscript for this multivolume work. Since the appearance of the 1942 book, there has been a great amount of additional legislation and court decisions and two new Western States had to be considered. Moreover, the present, much more extensive, work treats more facets of the subject and discusses a number of items in greater detail. Rights to the use of water from various surface and underground sources often are of crucial importance in the Western States. The 19 States to which this study relates include the 17 contiguous Western States plus Alaska and Hawaii. The 17 contiguous States comprise the six extending from North Dakota to Texas, the three bordering the Pacific Ocean, and the intervening eight States.
