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.

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.

This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 730 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.

Download or read book More Crop Per Drop written by Meredith Giordano and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is an analytical summary and a critical synthesis of research at the International Water Management Institute over the past decade under its evolving research paradigm known popularly as 'more crop per drop'. The research synthesized here covers the full range of issues falling in the larger canvas of water-food-health-environment interface. Besides its immediate role in sharing knowledge with the research, donor, and policy communities, this volume also has a larger purpose of promoting a new way of looking at the water issues within the broader development context of food, livelihood, health and environmental challenges. More crop per drop: Revisiting a research paradigm contrasts the acquired wisdom and fresh thinking on some of the most challenging water issues of our times. It describes new tools, approaches, and methodologies and also illustrates them with practical application both from a global perspective and within the local and regional contexts of Asia and Africa. Since this volume brings together all major research works of IWMI, including an almost exhaustive list of citations, in one single set of pages, it is very valuable not only as a reference material for researchers and students but also as a policy tool for decision-makers and development agencies.
