Excerpt from Irrigation Works: Constructed by the United States Government As a modern activity of the Caucasian race, irrigation in the United States on any considerable scale seems to have had its beginning in Utah in the settlement of the Salt Lake Valley. The early settlements of California, New Mexico, and other arid States extended the practice of the early Spaniards and the Indians, and irrigation developed along with the slow settlement of these then remote regions. During the early history of irrigation farmers and groups of farmers naturally confined their efforts mainly to diverting small streams upon adjacent valleys where the slope of the country and the topography were such as to make the work easy and cheap. With the values of land then existing no expensive enter prise was practicable. Such development proceeding for nearly half a century, widely distributed over the arid region, irrigated in the aggregate a very large area of land. The farmers em ployed the cheapest class of construction and seldom counted their own time in computing costs, which are hence reported very low.

Excerpt from Operation and Maintenance of Irrigation Systems The operation and maintenance of irrigation systems is a subject of very active interest in the western states. The large number of irrigation systems constructed during the past 15 years have served to call attention to the importance of questions of operation policies and methods. Relatively such questions are at present much less thoroughly worked out than the strictly engineering questions of design and construction. This volume is the outgrowth of notes prepared for class use in a course in this subject given by the author at the University of California. It is based on several years personal experience and observation in irrigation work in many of the western states, and on a careful examination of available published material supplemented by correspondence and discussions with many of those connected with the operation and maintenance of irrigation systems. The subject of this volume is necessarily one of practice rather than of theory. As in other similar subjects, practice is materially affected by local conditions, which in irrigation may vary widely in the different irrigated sections. Such variations make it difficult to distinguish the principles of the practice from the local application of such principles. An attempt has been made to give the general principles that may be recognized, illustrated by typical examples of their local application, rather than to fully cover all local variations in practice. No attempt has been made to cover practice outside of the United States. There is very little published material relating to this subject which is generally available. References to the more important articles are given at the end of each chapter; many of these, however, have had only a limited distribution and will be available to only a few readers. Formal references to much other material found to be valuable in the preparation of this volume are not given as these consist of unpublished reports or other material of similar nature.

Excerpt from Irrigation Engineering The first edition of Irrigation Engineering, was a pioneer in its field, and quickly took its place as the recognized stand ard therein, as indicated by its passage through six successive editions. At the date of the first edition and in fact, some time later, the large irrigation works of engineering interest were mostly in India and Egypt. Mr. Wilson's familiarity with those works, based largely on personal contact with them and their builders and operators, gave the early editions Of his work a special value as contributions to western knowledge of this subject.

Excerpt from Manual of Irrigation Engineering The need of a comprehensive treatise on irrigation has been so frequently brought to my attention during the last few years, that I have undertaken to write this book with the hope that it may help those who are engaged in the study or practice of irrigation engineering. It is chiefly the result of original investigation, the descriptions of works being made from personal observation in America, Europe, and India.

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.
