Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Irrigation a Sketch of Its History and Practice in Various Countries The following papers, with one exception, first appeared in the Arizona "Gazette," and, at the request of many farmers and fruit-growers, they are now presented in pamphlet form. The subject of irrigation has not yet received that attention from the residents of the "dry belt" which its magnitude demands. Yet there is no industrial question of greater importance to the people of Western America; for upon an intelligent mastery of the true principles underlying the control and application of water to the thirsty soil must rest the future growth and prosperity of that region. This is especially true of Arizona, whose grand agricultural possibilities are gradually becoming known and appreciated. In this sketch I have aimed to present, in a condensed form, all available facts, with the hope that it may serve to dispel some of the dense ignorance that prevails in Arizona on this subject. For much of the data in these papers, I am indebted to Powell´s "Lands of the Arid Regions;" the Reports of the State Engineers of California and Colorado; the Report of Hon. A. Deakin to the Governor of Victoria, N. S. W., and the Proceedings of the Riverside Irrigation Convention.
