Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation Practice and Engineering, Vol. 2 The preparation of these two volumes results in part from the development of a course in Irrigation engineering presented at the University of California. It is based on an acquaintance with a large number of irrigation systems, located in most of the States of the western part of the United States and in western Canada, Obtained through many Opportunities for examination of these projects and through connection with a number of them. The writer has not confined himself to his own experience and observations, but has discussed the principles of irrigation engineering presented in this work with a number of successful engineers, who have had much experience in the construction and Operation of irrigation systems. He has also availed himself not only of contemporary literature pertaining to American Irrigation engineering, but has consulted a large collection of foreign publications, mostly from India, Egypt, Spain and France. While there is still considerable difference of Opinion among engineers regarding some of the principles of design of irrigation works, it is believed that the Opinions and principles presented are in accordance with correct theory and good practice as demonstrated by careful observation.

Download or read book Irrigation Works written by Arthur Powell Davis and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation Works: Constructed by the United States Government Agriculture by irrigation is one of the oldest occupations of civilized man. Various parts of the world show evidences that irrigation was practised long before any historical record was kept. The remains of prehistoric irrigation works have been identified and extensively traced in southern Arizona along the Salt River and in parts of New Mexico and California. American Irrigation was left entirely to private and corporate. enterprise until the passage, in 1902, of the National Reclamation Act, which has been amended and modified from time to time by subsequent acts. The original reclamation act provided for the segregation of the receipts from the sales of public lands in the sixteen Western States and Territories into a special fund to be known as the Reclamation Fund and to be available for the survey, construction, and operation of reclamation projects in those States. It provided that the cost of those projects should be returned to the Reclamation Fund by the owners of private land or entry-men on public land in ten annual installments, no requirement of interest being made. A subsequent act in 1914 extended this time to twenty years. The original act required the expenditure of the major portion of the funds in the States in which it had been received. Under this act about one hundred million dollars have been expended in construction, and twenty-five projects are now in operation and prepared to deliver water to about one million five hundred thousand acres of land, about two-thirds of which was actually irrigated in 1916. The projects undertaken, unlike the early simple diversions upon valleys adjacent to the head works, involved, on the contrary, expensive storage works, high diversion dams, difficult tunnels, or long, expensive canal work upon side hills, where large investment was necessary before any water was brought to the land.

This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water-Supply and Irrigation Papers of the United States Geological Survey, 1901: No. 41-47 It was found that the minimum flow could be relied upon to furnish water and lights for the citizens and very little more. It was of great value to the city, from a sanitary point of View, that there was during all these years a private water company, whose plant was operated by steam, supplying water and lights to the citizens. The history of this dam is unique in one respect, and that is in the number of engineers connected with it. Early in 1892 Mr. Joseph P. Frizell resigned, it is asserted, by reason of the fact that he was ham pered in his work by the city authorities. Other engineers resigned for similar causes, and at one time a contractor in charge was ordered to follow the instructions of a city official who was not an engineer. This peculiar method of conducting a great public work called forth severe criticisms from engineering journals.

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.

Download or read book Irrigation written by Hanbury Brown and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-06-25 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation: Its Principles and Practice as a Branch of Engineering Irrigation is a subject which covers much ground, and cannot be confined within the narrow boundaries of a single volume. But the principles on which Irrigation Engineering is based can be collected in small compass, and be illustrated by examples of actual practice to the extent that space allows. What, therefore, this work attempts to do is to set forth the guiding principles that should govern the practice of irrigation, and to furnish illustrations of their application in existing canal systems. The majority of the illustrations have been selected from the wealth of material that the irrigation experience of India and Egypt supplies, for the following reasons. In the first place, I have been personally connected with irrigation in both countries, and can therefore handle the facts, relating to them, as one having authority on the subject, and not as the scribes, Whose methods I might be imitating were I to draw my illustrations from the records of other countries. In the second place, it is India that furnishes examples of irrigation on the largest scale, and that has been the school in which all British irrigation engineers, previously to England's occupa tion of Egypt, have undergone their training. Moreover, the excellent standard work on the subject, The Irrigation Works of India, by R. B. Buckley, provides in a convenient form more than enough material for copious illustrations, and I have made much use of it, with Mr. Buckley's kind permission. But it will be found that Egypt has been the favourite source of my borrowing. There are two good (so it appears to me) reasons for this. The first is that I am intimately acquainted with Egypt as an irrigating country. The second is that Egypt is par excellence the country of irrigation, as it is wholly depen dent for its existence on its mother, the Nile, from which it has never been weaned.

Download or read book Principles of Irrigation Engineering written by Frederick Haynes Newell and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Irrigation Engineering: Arid Lands, Water Supply, Storage, Works, Dams, Canals, Water, Rights and Products In the following pages an attempt is made to give an outline of the fundamental questions involved in undertaking and carrying out an irrigation enterprise. In presenting this matter in the form of a treatise on Irrigation Engineering, it is intended primarily for the use of students and engineers who desire to become acquainted with the general principles involved in considering the feasibility of, and in planning, constructing and operating irrigation systems. An attempt has also been made, however, to present the subject matter in such form that it may be read with profit by persons interested in irrigation, but without a thorough technical knowledge of the subject of hydraulics. It is not possible in a book of ordinary length, to go into all of the details essential to successful irrigation construction and operation. The broader and more general aspects of the subject therefore are presented with the assumption, that where further details are necessary, it will be possible for the student to find them in one of the many technical books now available. The purpose of the work is therefore to assist the student and engineer by pointing out the essential questions to which special attention must be given. In attempting to give this broad survey, the presentation has been made as simple and concise as possible. It is appreciated that even with engineers of large experience, there are certain broad principles, which though elementary, are worthy of frequent reconsideration. These principles when applied to new problems are frequently suggestive of different viewpoints and lead to a more thorough understanding of the work in hand. The designation, "The Principles of Irrigation Engineering," has thus been selected as indicative of the attempted scope of the work. Irrigation Engineering in its broadest aspects may be defined as the development of the water resources of the arid regions as relating to their conservation and use as a part of the wealth of the nation. More specifically, it deals with the methods of holding, controlling and distributing the waters needed in agriculture, and further, those matters which lead to financial success in the investments then made.
