Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Modern Irrigation To the uninitiated the title to this booklet may be somewhat misleading, for irrigation is not modern. Quite as far back as history reaches we have records of the application of water by means other than those provided by nature for the preservation and proper development of vegetation. It is strange to relate, however, in view of the almost miraculous inventions and improvements in almost every other line of human endeavor, that there has been up to the time of the introduction of the system described herein, almost no improvement in the actual methods of distribution over those used by the Egyptians 4,000 years before the Christian era. It is true, of course, that the invention and perfection of the combustion engine and the many improvements made in electrical machinery, together with the vast improvement of old and the development of new types of pumping machinery, have greatly improved upon the methods of handling water for irrigation purposes, but as before stated, the crude, antiquated, inefficient and wasteful ditch, furrow, check and flooding systems have up to the present prevailed, and will continue to do so until the merits of the one modern system as described herein have become more generally known. With nearly all the old systems the application of water has been made on the surface of the ground, practically the only exception being the sub-irrigation or tile system where the water is carried beneath the surface.
