Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Drainage Situation in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, Texas Companies in the valley, representing an investment of several million dollars. Up to the present time (august, 1909) perhaps acres of land have been cleared, and it is quite probable that between and acres will be in cultivation by the first of 1910. Settlers are constantly arriving in the valley in large numbers, and towns, sugar mills, factories, and houses are being built. The first irrigation Scheme of any magnitude was put in operation about 1902, when the Brownsville Land and Irrigation Company started to grow rice. The yield of the first crop was excellent and a bright future was predicted for the rice industry, but the second crop was not so much of a success. In the growth of rice it is neces sary to keep the ground covered with water several inches in depth; and in order that it might not seep away too fast the low-lying, heavy, clay soils were chosen. These soils contain a large amount of alkali, which was rapidly concentrated at the surface by this method of culture, and it soon became evident that rice could not be profitably grown. No attempt has been made to grow rice since 1906. Since the abandonment of the rice crop, sugar cane, cotton, and truck crops have been extensively grown. The climate of this part of Texas is classed as semitropical and semiarid, in spite of the fact that the average annual rainfall at Brownsville is inches. All irrigation water comes from the Rio Grande. During the early summer months the river is fre quently dry at El Paso, and the mest of the supply for the lower part of the valley must come from the Republic of Mexico.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Salinity of Nonirrigated Soils in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas Solution of the salinity problems of a particular area begins with the gathering of as much information as possible about the kinds of salts causing the problem, soluble salt sources, soil properties, the portion of the land affected by salts, water table and drainage conditions, and farm management practices. After such information is obtained, the salinity problem can be properly evaluated. Subsequently, reclamation practices can be formulated and initiated, and farmer management practices can be altered to aid reclamation.

This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Observations on the Ground Waters of Rio Grande Valley An investigation of the underfiow of the Rio Grande was begun in the latter part of August, 1904, at the narrows of the Rio Grande, a few miles above El Paso, Tex., where the stream flows through a narrow gorge Of limestone. At this place is the site of the proposed mexican-american international dam. At the surface of the water the distance between the walls of the gorge is less than 400 feet. The dam site has been investigated by the International (water) Boundary Commission, organized by the joint action of the American and Mexi can Governments, and maps and reports concerning the proposed dam will be found in the Proceedings of the International (water) Bound ary Commission, vol. 2, page 277. A brief reconnaissance at the site of the proposed international dam indicated that there could be, no underflow of any magnitude at this point. The distance between the walls of the gorge is less than 400 feet, and the test borings made by the Mexican commission in 1897 seemed to indicate that the maximum depth to bed rock is 86 feet. A cross section of the gorge, based upon the Mexican borings, is shown in fig. 2. In this diagram the vertical and horizontal scale are the same. A cross section of less than square feet could not trans mit a large volume of ground water even if other conditions were favorable. The highest velocity ever determined for ground water is about 100 feet in twenty-four hours, and assuming this maximum velocity at the above cross section, and a porosity of one-third in the water-bearing sands and gravel, the daily discharge Would be cubic feet, or 151} cubic feet per second. The gradient of the water plane at the narrows is but 3555 feet to the mile, and all other indica tions point to a low rather than a high velocity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Flow and Run-Off of Some Texas Streams It will be observed that the present run-off of the Trinity at. Riverside is much greater than that at any other station. The Colorado is very low in percentages on account of the fact that possibly one-third of its drainage reaches into the staked plains and it is' a. Rare occurrence when any of the water that falls along the Texas and Pacific Railway near the corner of New Mexico reaches Austin. The Brazos also reaches up into the plains country where the rainfall is slight and the ground thirsty and generally ready to drink up an ordinary rainfall.
